OIMY on Galiano


We had a wonderful day of learning at our OIMY plus on Galiano. We learned about and got to sample food from the "forest garden"; we heard about traditional uses of plants and trees by practicing cedar weaving (the paper version) and a "Caboose Walk". In the Caboose Walk students became experts on a plant or a tree and retold the information to everyone in their group. Some students got very creative with their presentations and all were very informative and rich! Thank you to the Galiano Conservancy for this well planned and enjoyable day of learning!

Tomorrow we head off for a full day adventure on Galiano! Here are the travel details:

Mayne and Pender students will take the ferry over (leaving at 7:05am on Pender and 7:45am on Mayne).

Coming home will be via water taxi: arriving 3pm in Miner's Bay on Mayne and arriving at 3:35pm in Port Washington on Pender.

We will be with the Galiano Conservancy for most of the day learning about native edible plants and other forest ecology lessons!
