About Sandy Lake First Nation

Neh gaaw saga'igan is the local translation of Sandy Lake, where the people traditionally and continues to live off the abundance of land as hunters and gatherers. Though wild game is still a staple in the diets of many, today the people of Sandy Lake enjoy games and sports such as hockey, volleyball, softball, taekwondo, golf, and other modern sports.

Located 450 km northeast of Winnipeg and 600 km northwest of Thunder Bay, we are a remote, fly-in First Nation community located in the boreal forested area of Northwestern Ontario along the Severn River. Beautiful landscapes surround our community, giving our people the opportunity for outdoor and social activities all-year-round. In the summer, we go hunting, hiking, kayaking, and fishing. In the winter, we go ice fishing, play ice hockey, and marvel at the beautiful northern lights above our open skies. Getting in and out of Sandy Lake is very convenient, with daily flights chartered by Wasaya Airways and Perimeter Aviations, from multiple cities and towns in Winnipeg and Ontario.

About the Opportunities

Currently, the Sandy Lake Board of Education has incredible opportunities for multiple Elementary Teachers, including a Primary Special Education Teacher, to join our school in Sandy Lake, Ontario, for the 2026/2027 school year:

The successful candidates must relocate to Sandy Lake for the duration of the term, fully immersing in the community to better serve and understand our students' needs.

With the help of the support staff, your role is to assess, provide guidance, and encourage students while also developing lesson plans and relevant curricula.

The scope of your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

Planning and preparing lessons in relation to individual students' needs and examination syllabi
Encouraging all students to participate and take part in school activities
Instructing in a manner that develops students' confidence in their abilities
Observing and managing classroom dynamic
Attending and participating in parent-teacher and faculty conferences
Taking part in community events and culture
Teaching religious education within the curriculum, integrating spiritual teachings in a culturally respectful and inclusive manner
Incorporating our culture and community activities into the curriculum and classroom teaching

About You

To qualify for any of the positions, you will ideally have an Ontario teaching certificate.

Candidates with non-Ontario teaching certificate, or are in the middle of obtaining an Ontario certificate, may still be considered.

While we are recruiting for a range of Elementary Teaching opportunities, we also welcome applications from qualified Primary Special Education Teachers. Experience supporting students with diverse learning, behavioural, developmental, or exceptional needs, as well as developing or implementing individualized learning strategies, would be considered a strong asset.

As Sandy Lake's faculty member, you must possess a detail-oriented mindset, with excellent problem-solving and instructional skills. Most importantly, your success in engaging students using unique approaches in teaching, will inspire you to mentor them at their fullest potential.

In addition, you will have knowledge of culturally responsive teaching practices, exceptional communication skills, and a natural aptitude for bringing out the best in your students.

Sandy Lake School, a First Nations community school, integrates Indigenous culture, language, and spiritual teachings, shaped by the community’s values. This approach emphasizes culturally respectful religious education, differing from standard public schools in Ontario. Therefore, experience and comfort teaching various religious topics, including Christianity, from a neutral and culturally respectful perspective, is essential.

Knowledge of First Nations culture and experience with First Nations students is an asset.

Please note that membership and license with the Ontario College of Teachers and updated Criminal Record and Child Abuse Registry Check will be required for all shortlisted candidates.

For the safety of our remote community, mandatory COVID-19 screening and/or quarantine will be strictly enforced for all successful hires entering Sandy Lake.

About the Benefits

Compensation based on certifications, skills, and experience, is a competitive annual salary of $76,693 to $107,903 (evaluated upon your current teaching certificate), plus a host of excellent benefits including:

Extended health, vision, and dental coverage
Reimbursement for fly-in/fly-out travel expenses of $1500 for individuals and $2000 for families (flights are covered for September and June)
Vacation over the summer break, as well as 2 weeks vacation at Christmas and 1 week spring break vacation
Provided individual or shared housing, depending on availability
The opportunity to work within a friendly and inclusive community
Work and live in a stunning natural landscape with wildlife, northern lights, and abundant natural wonders
A vast array of community activities to get involved with including boating, canoeing, and our running club
Social activities throughout the year that get the community socially connected with one another
