The Outer Islands' Middle Years Program (OIMY) is a cohort comprised of Pender, Mayne, Galiano, and Saturna middle years students (Grades 6-8). Our program focuses on an on-going commitment to each other, educators planning together to meet students needs, and honouring a sense of place and the uniqueness of each island setting.

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!
