During the week of June 17, students at a secondary school hosted a series of activities to honour National Indigenous Peoples Day. The week began with a bingo scavenger hunt, encouraging students to explore and learn about Indigenous cultures and histories in an interactive way.
On June 20, the school hosted an incredible performance by the renowned Indigenous dance group Coastal Wolf Pack. The event also included a delicious bannock and jam lunch, offering students a taste of traditional Indigenous cuisine.
Students were encouraged to wear orange and red, colours symbolizing both the pain and resilience of Indigenous peoples. The week-long festivities not only showcased the beauty of Indigenous cultures but also reinforced the school's commitment to understanding and supporting Indigenous communities. This created meaningful and lasting connections among the participants.
