As this school year is coming to an end and we are about to embrace the summer vacation it feels like a good time to reflect on the last few months.

Our kitchen renovation and upgrade is complete! It looks and feels like a kitchen that is ready for big batches of food to be cooked, and large numbers of people to come through and enjoy it. Thanks for the team that helped to make this a dream kitchen! We look forward to seeing you next year in ‘SKELEN, AUTW’ – our beautiful kitchen.

An exciting event we hosted this year was a 2-day Health Fair ‘LAUSET HALE’ in April, for our students attending SAEC, Camosun and UVIC classes onsite. The days were filled with workshops and events to help with self care, healing and pampering oneself. It was a big hit and very relaxing! We were grateful for the pampering with massages, hair cuts, nail polishing, and brushing off. The workshops to make your own Medicine Bag, Financial Wellness, Health and Nutrition, and creating a takeaway Self Care Bag were filled with students and staff enjoying the teachings. Thank you to everyone who participated, the staff, and practitioners who made the event so special. The feedback from the event was let this be the first of many! We will keep you posted. I hope you all have a wonderful summer.

HISWKE,

Ang Hamilton, Health and Wellness Coordinator
