Every year, Canadore hosts a Powwow, round dances and many other gatherings. The gatherings are opportunities for students to connect with their families and other students and celebrate diverse languages and cultural practices – often over really good food. With our large Cree population, smoked goose is regularly on the menu!
This past year students and their families joined Lorraine, Grandmother-in-Residence, for sewing and beading weekly. Some participated in ‘Big Drum’ Making, water teachings, or just hung out with peers in the student lounge.
Canadore also has a Tipi, and many other cultural spaces available for students. We know that for many, culture ignites and fuels the learning spirit.
