@gearsgeary @CapilanoU Whoa, stay safe. When I was a kid living on North Van's epic 29th St hill, I dreamed of snowfalls like this, and me & my bro'd watch cars slip around. Now I know, ain't so fun to navigate.

Inspiring Gwich'in language revitalization story from Old Crow, Yukon. So proud of language champions in Vuntut Gwitchin territory (might know some of 'em). Shout out to Salish School of Spokane for sharing their Indigenous language acquisition model.
