A.L. Horton Elementary School, Mundare School, and Vegreville Composite Jr/Sr High School put on an Indigenous Community Night on Wednesday, November 20 in the A.L. Horton gym.

We celebrated indigenous culture through food (soup and bannock), painting with Metis elder Connie Kulhavy, smudging, and exploring and learning about First Nations, Metis, and Inuit groups and their languages who have been on Turtle Island for time immemorial on our Giant Floor Map.

We had a great turnout of about 65 people who really enjoyed the evening of connection and celebration.
