Dear Parents and Families,
Monday, June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day
Staff, students and parents are encouraged to wear orange on that day.
The PAC has also been working with a local neighbour who has been providing orange shirts.
Orange t-shirts have been printed through the Naut’sa mawt Tribal Counsel.
The art is by Timothy Foster, he is Gitxsan from the house of Niisto in the Lax Seel clan. “A Mother’s Love“ represents how important it is to respect and love our life givers, always and forever.
