About CLEA
Empowering Our Community Through Education Since 1987.
In the heart of the Cross Lake Reserve, in Manitoba, our story began when citizens in our community took a bold step towards self-determination in education.
We proudly stand as a testament to local control and cultural integrity, operating under the guidance of the Cross Lake Band. https://crosslakeband.ca/
