Beaver Brae Secondary School and Sioux North High School have expanded their courses and programming in land-based learning from 2020 to 2021. Students in Grade 9 at Beaver can participate in a land-based bundle credit, including Anishinaabemowin (LNOAO), Outdoor Education (PAD1O) and Science (SNC1). Students participate in various regular land-based learning opportunities, including outdoor education. They learn from elders and local community members while connecting Indigenous knowledge with language. Students have participated in learning events, such as making traditional mittens and ice fishing with a local guide and Elder Bert Landon.
Sioux North offered a double-credit land-based course (IDC4O and NBV3C), including Traditional Harvesting. Also, a single credit IDC3O—Sustainability through Outdoor Pursuits—was developed in Fall 2021, with an exciting new partnership with the local Ministry of Natural Resources District Office.
