🏕️ Land-Based Learning & Cultural Connections

In Evergreen, we believe learning should reflect who students are—and where they come from.

 In 2024–2025, every school in the division hosted Elders or Knowledge Keepers for cultural teachings. Two schools even created dedicated land-based learning classes.

 We also:
🪶 Grew our EAGLES program for Indigenous and non-Indigenous students
🌱 Hosted a 4-part PLC on land-based learning
📘 Saw 87% of staff complete treaty training

 These efforts are part of our commitment to Mamàhtawisiwin: The Wonder We Are Born With and to embedding Indigenous perspectives into everyday learning.

When students see themselves reflected in the curriculum, they feel a deeper sense of belonging—and that supports both achievement and well-being.
