- 4. Seabird College began as a dream of Seabird Island’s Chief Administrative Officer, Chuck McNeil, and Grand Chief Archie Charles many years ago. They dreamed that one day, Seabird Island would be able to have its community members, and the members of our neighbouring communities, get a college level education within their community and that this college education would take into account the specific learning needs of our First Nations people. In 2009 Seabird Island would achieve that goal. After Seabird Island’s many partnerships with universities and colleges to run programs within the community, Seabird Island decided it was now time to take their biggest step in First Nations education and officially opened Seabird College’s doors in 2010 and went on to achieve astonishing success in 2011 when it would help 49 First Nations students graduate.
