The passing of Teacher Noreen Quinney
It is with profound sadness that we share that long-time Boyle Street Education Centre staff member Noreen Quinney completed her journey on Mother Earth and entered the Spirit World on the morning of Sunday, December 7, 2025.
Noreen was a beacon of hope to the many students she served over her 25 years as an English and Fashion Studies teacher at BSEC. She loved to see her students succeed and did all that she could to support them. Her caring and empathetic approach in reaching those in need of inspiration was one of her greatest gifts.
We send our heartfelt condolences to her entire family and to Saddle Lake Cree Nation.
We share in your collective grief.

A Step towards Reconciliation
To honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, the Edmonton Police Service held a special event with Boyle Street Education Centre (BSEC).
With over 90% of its students being Indigenous, BSEC integrates cultural teachings with essential services.
We got you.
BSEC provides an integrated learning experience. Teachers and staff are deeply committed to your success. We combine traditional learning with in-depth, hands-on learning opportunities. We make being at school that much easier.
You won’t be doing this alone – we provide the support and services you need to succeed.
At BSEC, we provide students a space free from harm – no matter your identity, ethnicity, gender or sexuality – we welcome you home.
Be careful – you might get inspired!
Conventional schools are often described as “different” – our students understand this isn’t always true. Our students may have faced trauma, loss, and abuse but they’re also strong and beautiful.
At BSEC, we offer something truly different – a trauma-informed, reconciliation-first approach. We accept our students for who they are, meet them where they’re at, and nourish and heal their spirits.
