Past students, teachers and staff were in Cumberland House today to celebrate an educational milestone in the community.

The Charlebois Community School is celebrating 125 years since it first opened.

Vice Principal Aaron Fosseneuve says the school was originally built by Metis families in 1890.

“I think just over the years, what it was 125 years ago to what it is now, I think that’s our big milestone.”

Several dignitaries were scheduled to attend today’s celebration, including Education Minister Don Morgan and NDP Leader Cam Broten.
