As we continue to learn of more unmarked graves at the sites of former Residential Schools, we wanted to share resources with schools and families that might help with learning more and sharing this information with students.
Be gentle, walk with kindness, look after each other.
From all of us in the Aboriginal Education department, we wanted to wish everyone a happy and healthy start to 2023.
We know that this time of year can bring challenges and we wanted to share some resources that we thought might be helpful as we pull through winter. Check out these resources here and feel free to reach out any time for additional ideas.
Winter moves us to gather around fires, in our lodges and cozy under warm blankets at home. We settle in to listen to stories, the words of Elders and story tellers.
Truth and Reconciliation week was special at Salmo Elementary School. Not only was there an amazing display of support through the display of Orange Shirts, but there was a softness among the primary students, and a depth of curiosity and understanding among the intermediate grades. The experiences shared in all the classrooms and at the assembly, were incredibly rewarding this year.
