" On behalf of the government of Canada, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations and best wishes on the launch of the Keewaytinook Internet High School. This is an example of the innovation we Northerners pride ourselves in. Northerners have to be creative because our needs are different, especially when it comes to the education of young First Nations people in the North. Our challenge is to ensure that young First Nations students have the best opportunities they can have to get a good education at home in the North. This Internet High School enables 27 students from North Spirit Lake, Fort Severn and Poplar Hill to do just that. I think that it is fair to say that the sky is the limit for this project. This Internet High School concept offers remarkable and unlimited opportunities in education among remote First Nation communities. This Internet High School is also one of the applications of this government's Smart Communities concept. This High School puts technology to work in remote communities where it counts. Once again, on behalf of the government of Canada, please accept my congratulations to all those involved in this excellent initiative and best wishes for the school year and good luck to you all."
