Representatives of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) and the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs invited various people from the different regions of Canada, this week.  The purpose of this meeting was to give the Canadian regions the chance to have input on the development of policies for Education.  The gathering took place in the city of Montreal.  It was decided that there would be a follow-up meeting on April 26-28, 2005 again in Montreal.  Plans are underway for the development of an action plan for the Education sector with a close look on the funding in all areas of Education.  Strong messages were delivered to INAC on the need for additional funding in Education as well as the need for improved policy.
