Meadow Lake teacher recognized for impact on Indigenous students
A local teacher is being acknowledged for his work with Indigenous youth.
Derek Eftoda, an educator at Carpenter High School, was awarded the Guiding the Journey Award. The honour comes from Indspire, a national Indigenous charity that invests in First Nations, Inuit, and Métis education.
The award recognizes those who make significant contributions to community-based education while honouring the principles of Indigenous knowledge.
In an interview with meadowlakeNOW, Eftoda said the announcement of his accomplishment caught him by surprise.
