Custodianship
Our Program Director provides custodianship for students who will be living with a homestay family arranged by Louis Riel School Division, at no additional cost. Students can also reside in an independent living arrangement, with either the parents or a custodian. A custodian must be a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident, must be over the age of 25 and must live in Winnipeg.
1. One document from the PARENT appointing a custodian in Winnipeg.
2. One document from the CUSTODIAN accepting custodianship responsibilities.
Each document must be translated into English and notarized by a lawyer or notary public in their home country.
You can find copies of this form online at:

***Students attending Kindergarten—grade 8, must live with a parent or someone who has been verified to be a family member or family friend in Louis Riel School Division catchment for the duration of their studies. If the parent is living with their child, no custodial document is required.
