Very special to hear @CabaDICK and @Seycove choir performing Chief Dan George’s Coast Salish Anthem. TY to @SD41marlborough for acknowledging the origin of the song led by Tchilaqs7Tchila Gordon Dick. It was an honour standing with you today @burnabyschools
Outstanding work @montecitoSD41 students...TY for sharing language to authentically welcome others as an important part of your learning community. @BurnabyAbEd@burnabyschools
Our Indigenous students, some ELL students and their friends have created beautiful new ‘welcome’ rocks to greet our students arriving after the morning bell. So far there are 15 languages representing our diversity. Proud of the care and community building at Montecito! #sd41
