It was founded for the purpose of providing a support and networking place for its members and has gradually taken a greater role in addressing the issues and challenges that face Aboriginal teachers and students.<br/><span style=""></span><br/><span style=""></span>  Through ongoing discussions it became evident that additional actions were needed to address the concerns that both Aboriginal educators and Aboriginal students face within the public and federally funded schools.<br/><span style=""></span><br/><span style=""></span>  Over time, A.C.E. has continued to adapt its actions to create meaningful opportunities for support and networking among its membership while working to advance and further develop Aboriginal education initiatives. A focus for these efforts is to advance the integration of Aboriginal education into all aspects of the education system in Manitoba.<br/><span style=""></span><br/><span style=""></span>  A.C.E. has developed and persevered on the volunteerism of its membership. The collective membership of A.C.E. has worked diligently to promote and support Aboriginal education in various capacities. Since 1991, A.C.E. has sponsored numerous, well attended and highly praised workshops and conferences and in 2006 established its first annual Aboriginal Education Awards banquet which celebrates the work of educators and our allies. The success of these events is directed toward the realities that exist, and the creation of understandings that will ultimately benefit all learners. It is the membership that develops these initiatives and offers their services on a volunteer basis, sharing the skills, resources and experience that they have developed, and the lessons that they have learned.<br/><span style=""></span><br/><span style=""></span>  </span></span></span></div>
