The Matawa Chiefs established Matawa Education and Care Centre (MECC), formally known as Matawa Learning Centre in 2010 to provide an educational alternative for our youth.
The Matawa Education and Care Centre embraces holistic education to support First Nation youth. The education model integrates the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual self. We have mental health services, recreation opportunities, trades programming, land-based learning, distance education, cooperative education, cultural and spiritual programming in an 11-hour school day to offer a multi-faceted learning environment able to meet the needs of each student. Our educational program will be designed around the student, accommodating their mental health, physical, and spiritual needs.
