Horse Lake Elementary
The Horse Lake Kindergarten Class revisited the Horse Lake Farm Cooperative Farm for the second of a number of recurring visits. Murray Casey, a Tsq’escenemc First Nations Elder, welcomed the students to the land by singing and drumming a First Nations welcome song. He then explained the significance of the local garden and how it has traditionally been a part of local Indigenous culture.
The kindergarten students then explored the garden with the farm program leaders and learned about the vegetables grown there. Later, they walked across fields and down to Horse Lake, observing migrating birds, and investigating gopher and badger holes. They were very curious about the badgers and were excited to learn more about them back at school.
