In honour of Truth and Reconciliation, our students explored what it means to care for the land and protect our water. We began by reading The Water Walker by Joanne Robertson, the story of Nokomis Josephine Mandamin, an Anishinaabe grandmother who walked thousands of kilometres around the Great Lakes to raise awareness about protecting water.

Inspired by her journey, our junior scientists then learned how scientists test water to see whether it is safe to drink. Using pH strips, they compared water from the creek with the tap water in their own water bottles. The children were amazed to see the strips change to different colours for each sample! Together, we concluded that there is still important work to be done to help keep our rivers, creeks, and lakes clean.

Our program runs 3 days per week: Tuesday through Thursday, from 9:00am to 12:00pm. This consistent, focused schedule allows children to build routines and relationships while giving families flexibility.
