Through a series of three walking experiences that engage the senses and imagination and integrate the First Peoples Principles of Learning, students will come to a holistic understanding of Lynn Valley or Lower Lonsdale as a place. The histories of these neighbourhoods from time immemorial to the present are highlighted, using the underlying concept of respect—for each other, the land that we are on, and the knowledge shared. These are larger kits that can be used as an entire unit. The kit rental includes a 30-minute virtual Coast Salish traditional opening ceremony. For grades 2-7.
