About

District 35 Dryden was formed in 1986. It includes the Dryden Unit (drawing members from Machin, Minnitaki, Oxdrift, Dryden, Wabigoon, Dinorwic, Sioux Lookout, Hudson and Ignace) and the Red Lake Unit (serving Red Lake, Balmertown, Madsen, Couchner and Ear Falls).

Our members include those who work in and retire from education – including child care and early years, schools and school boards, post-secondary, private schools and more. We play a key role in helping members stay active and connected – with each other and the community.

District 35 is situated on the ancestral traditional territories of the Anishinabewaki Peoples, on whose territory we are gathering today. We recognize that this territory is covered by the North-West Angle Treaty. We also acknowledge the urban Indigenous communities in our district.

District 35 Dryden recognizes the inequities connected to colonization and commits to working towards creating a just, inclusive and vibrant community for all.

We invite our members to reflect on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action.
