Grand Council Treaty #3 Celebrates the Graduating Class of 2026

June 11, 2026

Grand Council Treaty #3 Leadership, the Treaty #3 Education Committee, and Education staff extend congratulations to all Anishinaabe graduates across Treaty #3 on their achievements throughout the 2025-2026 academic year.

From Kindergarten and elementary school to high school, college, university, apprenticeships, and other educational pathways, we celebrate the hard work, dedication, and perseverance of graduates and their families.

“We are incredibly proud of all our graduates across Treaty #3,” said Ogichidaa Francis Kavanaugh. “Each graduate represents the strength, resilience, and potential of our Nation. Your accomplishments honour those who came before you and inspire future generations to pursue their dreams. Continue to carry your teachings, language, culture, and communities with pride as you move forward on your journey.”

Grand Council Treaty #3 invites graduates, families, friends, educators, and communities to help recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of our Anishinaabe graduates. We encourage everyone to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and achievements of graduates across Treaty #3 by sharing photos, videos, and stories on social media using #Treaty3Grad2026.

We also recognize and thank the parents, caregivers, families, educators, Elders, and community members who have supported our graduates along the way. Their encouragement, guidance, and belief help create the foundation for success and lifelong learning.

Congratulations to all graduates on your determination and accomplishments this past year. Celebrate the success of your growing knowledge bundle as you move forward in life, honouring your ancestors, families, and yourselves through the pursuit of education.

Miigwech for carrying our Anishinaabe Nation forward. We are proud of you and look forward to witnessing all that you will accomplish in the years ahead.
