Qualicum First Nation Culture Kit Program

The staff have been busily preparing this year's activity for Orange Shirt day. Pick up your classroom sets of 22 backpack charms at the Open House on September 2nd. Each child will get a wooden shirt to color orange, a key chain to bead, a felt orange heart and an orange fur pom pom to hang together on their backpack. Teacher's will receive teaching materials for Truth and Reconciliation day and a book to read to the children. Classroom sets are limited quantity and will be handed out at Open House till we run out.

We are very grateful for Monique Gray Smith for coming and collaborating for creating resources for the Together We Are Kind Kit. Be on the look out for all new resources connected to some of her books.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at our open house!!!

We have been hard at work this summer on the North expansion kits and getting our local kits ready for the school year.

This summer has been full of learning new skills to add to our resources.

We had Doug Reid come and teach us how to make drums! We made devils club bracelets, lanyards, mini drums and we learned how to work with resin.

We have been enjoying this summer and learning new skills.

Thank you so much to the Bow Horn Bay Fire Department for spending the whole day watching over our fires and joining us for the first day of our On the Land Early Years Conference. We very much appreciated having you there.

Thank you so much to all the staff who put in endless hours and effort into this conference. I have the best staff and am so proud of each and everyone of them. You all did such a phenomenal job making this conference a success. I am so grateful for working with such a wonderful team. Thank you to Totem Design House for helping me put together the wonderful appreciation boxes for the staff.
