ElliotLakeToday received the following message and photos from Conseil scolaire catholique Nouvelon regarding Truth and Reconciliation Week:
During the Truth and Reconciliation Week held at the end of September, students from École catholique Georges Vanier (Elliot Lake) participated in a variety of activities and virtual workshops offered by CSC Nouvelon.
Through these learning activities, students became familiar with the traditions, crafts, languages and history of the First Nations. It was also a week filled with reflection and learning for the students.
Indeed, students in grades 5, 6 and 7 were able to develop a better understanding of what reconciliation is and its importance today.
