Traditional Games 2026

The grade six students all got to spend a great day at Central Elementary School to participate in the Traditional Games event. Tim Manuel spoke about how the event started in the district several years ago. The conversation started in the want and need to show who we are as Indigenous people as part of Truth and Reconciliation. Games such as knobby ball, high kick, spear throw, rock throw, hoop jump were able to showcase skills once needed to be able to contribute to community by hunting/being a warrior, and these games emphasize those skills. What a fun way share information and a part of culture to all students. Thank you to the ISA's for organizing this amazing event.
