Kelsey School Division held its regularly scheduled meeting on November 18. The division has been busy with programming for students and recently had students engaged in another successful bison harvest.
“We just had another bison harvest again,” said KSD Superintendent Trevor Lane. “The students love it and we work with Around the Bend Farms to put this into our Indigenous learning. Myrna Ducharme and some elders in the community take about 20 students out to do this. They go through the entire process of how to honour the animal, go through some Indigenous ways of life and culture. They are shown how to skin the hide, harvest the meat and cook it. It’s a full two-day harvest process. We have three of these scheduled. It always goes over really well and the students enjoy doing it.”
