First Nation, Métis and Inuit students in Grade 12 have been making moccasins that they can take with them when they graduate. The moccasins will help to keep the students connected to their culture as they take their next steps forward in a good way.
The students learned how to make the moccasins with Elder Lynda Booth and her daughter Laura from Hiawatha First Nations.
Self-identified Indigenous students from across the board had the opportunity to connect with one another, the land and teachings in a day of tree-top trekking.
"Being here as a whole entire community and listening to our Elders, it's just amazing," said Ashton, Grade 12 student, Huron Heights S.S.
Seven of our athletes represented our school at the York Region Athletics Association badminton tournament on Tuesday, May 2, 2023. They played against top players across York Region at the Markham Pan Am Centre. Each athlete won a medal in their respective division.
