Discover Resources Environmental Inequity (People) Projects Biodiversity Loss (Animals), Environmental Inequity (People) Sharing the harvest Presently we have a large First Nations tradition plant demonstration plot. We are working with our First Nations partners to develop a seed and plant material distribution plan. Our students have learned to harvest, dry, and collect the seeds so they may be shared with all the schools in the board Biodiversity Loss (Animals), Climate Change (Environment), Environmental Inequity (People) Soil Regeneration Project The goals of the project are to organize and implement activities that promote soil regeneration, that prioritize composting of waste from other school programs, that establishes a native prairie ecosystem, and that provides a culturally significant space on school property. Climate Change (Environment), Environmental Inequity (People) The Compost Conundrum: Staying eco friendly in -30 degree weather! The Grade 3/4 class will start a school wide, indoor composting campaign to reduce the amount of food scraps that end up in the landfills.Using Foodcyclers, they will educate the entire school on how the machine works and what items they can put in it. Climate Change (Environment), Environmental Inequity (People) The Snowshoe: A Historical, Cultural, Ecological, Multidisciplinary Project In a collaborative effort with First Nation Elders, Knowledge Keepers, Lake Superior High school Technology Department, Science Department, and History Departments students will construct their own “Pays Plat” snowshoe.

Climate Change (Environment), Environmental Inequity (People) The Sprouts Initiative Sprouts is an online platform connecting like-minded people to collaborate on environmental initiatives worldwide. Starting in early 2023, students from universities in different countries will implement initiatives of their design and build the Sprouts website as part of our pilot project. Environmental Inequity (People) The students will plant and build a natural shelter made with bendable live branches of willow trees. This will be place close to the first nation garden build last year. The students will plant small willow trees. The tall branches will be bent and shaped into a shelter looking like a longhouse. The idea is to build a longhouse next to the first nation garden that the students build last year and the pine tree (the peace tree of the Iroquoiens) that was planted. Biodiversity Loss (Animals), Climate Change (Environment), Environmental Inequity (People) Understanding our Place Students will build an understanding of our ‘place’ with respect to the interconnectedness of the ecology, culture and economy in southern Alberta. This study will examine the development of our place using these 3 dimensions from our past, present and into the future.
