J.R. Reid Indigenous Learning Festival

Experience the Spirit of Indigenous Culture! 

J.R. Reid School will be having our first Indigenous Learning Festival! Tuesday, March 25th 

It will be a  full day of hands-on learning, culture, and celebration! Explore traditional fur hunting and trapping, get moving with Indigenous dance showcases, and test your skills with moccasin games and active challenges. Learn all about Bannock making, listen to the rhythms of fiddle, guitar, and spoons, and connect with Indigenous knowledge keepers as they share their traditions.

 We will Cap off the day with a school-wide assembly and a taste of delicious Bannock!

This is a incredible opportunity to learn, experience, and celebrate Indigenous heritage!
