Chapter 3: Imagine High students in the Stream Restoration program

 

Imagine High students in the Stream Restoration program

At Imagine High students choose a Learning Community that they want to be part of, for a semester. These students enrolled in the Stream Restoration program. They participated intensively in many ways. They dipped their shovels in the ground on the S.A.Y. lands--of the Skowkale, Aithchelitz and Yakweakwioose First Nations.

They planted trees. Removed invasive species. Learned about watershed stewardship and the impacts of colonialism on Stó:lō lives, culture and wellbeing. Their learning was intensive, broadbased and multifaceted. 

They expressed their learning in many creative ways.

The depth of their learning about stream restoration and Indigenous world view created the space for them to be open to singing Good Medicine Songs, and collaborating to create a song in Halq'eméylem and English.
