Our first Warrior group is off on our first big field trip this afternoon.
We are going on a hike to see the pictographs in Kelowna. I'm sure there will be some questions about what they are and what they meant.
Off to prep for the trip. I will update you with some pictures!

Warrior Update
Well, it is now official. We have implemented our first group with our first group of warriors. It is ongoing and I must say that this is something important for First Nations education. It's important because, although this is not a new idea, it is a new way of doing it.
The immediate feedback on the program was overwhelming and energizing. I really hope that we can make this go provincial or even national. It's not that difficult to think about going national. I know that other organizations have attempted to conduct leadership courses only to have them remain local. There is nothing wrong with that at all. What we are looking into is a partnership with these organizations.
We also have some original ideas for funding these larger ideas.
Stay tuned!
