A message from Grandmother Janice:

Tansi, Boozhoo,
Hi There,

My name is Janice Millar. I was born and raised in Winnipeg.

My Mom was Inninew (Cree) and My Dad was Metis.

I come from a family of 5 Girls. I am a Mother of 5 and a Grandmother to 3.

I worked in the Winnipeg School Division for 37 years and have just recently retired. Most of my years were spent in Counseling and supporting Indigenous Education/Students. I also worked with Teachers, Vice Principals, Principals, Directors and School Board Committee Members.

The foundation of my work was to clear a path to build Student Success, with the end result of creating equitable learning environments for all students.

I was schooled in Western Education. I received my Bachelor of Education and Post Baccalaureate in Counseling at the University of Manitoba.  

I was also schooled in Indigenous Education by the old people.

I have recently joined the Indigenous Student Support Team at Red River College Polytech. I enjoy working with students here. I am looking forward to this new journey and getting to know the students.
