Now in its third year, the Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board is getting positive feedback about its 'Summer Indigenous Transitions Program'
The Huron-Superior Catholic District School Board’s Summer Indigenous Transitions Program continues to receive good participation and feedback from students, parents and staff.
The program was billed as Living That Mino Bimaadiziwin Summer 2024 - Mino Bimaadiziwin meaning "the good path." “We did drum making, cooking by the fire, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, team building, leadership development and learned The Seven Grandfather Teachings . We’re always learning, always building,” Glover said.
Glover was joined by Nadia Zanatta, H-SCDSB Summer Indigenous Transitions Program administrator and Our Lady of Lourdes principal, at Wednesday’s presentation to the board. “It was also good to see students thrive in land based learning and outdoor education. One of my students really struggles in a classroom setting but she had success in drum making at the powwow grounds. Her guardian said ‘I can’t believe the confidence my child has, I didn’t see it before.’ So, it’s creating opportunities where there are successes because that's where confidence starts to build and that’s what our students need.
