On Tuesday, September 24th, grade 5-12 students participated in an Indigenous Blanket Exercise facilitated by three staff members from the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba, Mr. McKay and Miss Remillard. This exercise is designed to encourage dialogue about culture, identity and community.
On September 27th, F.W. Gilbert held their Truth and Reconciliation Day. Students, staff and parents were encouraged to wear orange in honour of the children who attended residential schools. Elder Mabel Bignell, her son Quintin, daughter-in-law Jessica and their family lead the school on a reflective walk. Following the walk, the students participated in a variety of activities focused on indigenous culture, community, and the history behind “orange shirt day”.
