Last evening I had the privilege of attending the School District’s Aboriginal Fall Family Gathering hosted at Hans Helgesen Elementary School. What a great night, over two hundred people attended including Scia’new Chief Chipps and T’souke Chief Planes, trustees, principals and vice principals as well as many families from as far as Port Renfrew.
The featured speaker was David Bouchard Métis writer, and musical story-teller. His music and stories were inspiring. Everyone I spoke to afterwards felt privileged to have heard his message to the children and youth in attendance and to ourselves, the adults. See the video below for an example.
I want to thank Kathleen King-Hunt and her staff for putting on such an amazing evening celebrating the success of our aboriginal students. – Jim Cambridge
