Land-based learning programs at the Lloydminster Public School Division are being cultivated with support from Cenovus Energy.
Students are being bussed to various locations to dig into the nurturing outdoor experiences with a $20,000 gift to support their Journey towards Truth and Reconciliation: Land-based learning.
Eighty students from ES Laird, Bishop Lloyd and Lloydminster Comprehensive will head out to a Cultural Moose Camp held in Onion Lake’s Reserve boundaries. Some of the funds have been used to buy the tents for the cultural camp.
“We are grateful to Cenovus Energy for their generous support, which is providing our students with an invaluable opportunity to engage in land-based learning and cultural experiences that will stay with them for a lifetime,” says superintendent of curriculum and instruction, Trisha Rawlake.
The group, guided by local hunters, will harvest a moose as part of the land-based experience, partake in other land-based and cultural activities, while camping in tipis and tents.
