How One Class Honoured Orange Shirt Day

Yesterday in Grade 8 Science, Ms. Hunt shared the teachings of the Medicine Wheel from an Anishinaabe cultural perspective. Together, she and her students explored connections to the environment and the water cycle.  
She also taught her students about the four sacred medicines and talked about her experiences as a trained Fire Keeper with The First People’s House of Learning at Trent University.
 
As one of our new Associate Teachers in the Middle and Senior Schools this year, Ms. Hunt's B.Ed. degree from Trent specializes in Health and Physical Education and First Nations, Métis and Inuit Studies. With a holistic approach to education, she enjoys creating opportunities for students to respect our environment and learn from the land.

Land Acknowledgment

CDS wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. For thousands of years, these have been the traditional lands of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. We also recognize the traditional territory of the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and the Haudenosaunee peoples who also shared this land.  CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for these lands and waters for future generations.
