May 10, 2018

An educational powwow was held at St. Benedict Catholic Secondary School on Wednesday, May 9.

Hundreds of students participated in the event and they learned about traditions and Indigenous culture.

The powwow was partially funded by a Speak Up grant from the Ministry of Education in the area of Opening Doors for Indigenous Conversations.

Laura Kuzenko, principal of St. Benedict Catholic School, said the grant was successful because more than 450 visitors from within the board and within other boards learned the traditions and spiritual meaning behind such an important cultural solstice event.
