A message from Grandmother Janice

Tansi, boozhoo, hi there –

My name is Janice Millar. I was born and raised in Winnipeg. My Mom was Ininew (Cree) and My Dad was Métis. I come from a family of 5 Girls. I am a mother of five and a grandmother to three.

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 RRC Polytech. I enjoy working with students here. I am looking forward to this new journey and getting to know the students.
