A little rain didn’t damper the 29th Annual Northland Games at Mistassiniy School in Wabasca-Desmarais. Elder Albert Yellowknee officially welcomed hundreds of athletes representing Northland School Division and Bigstone Cree Nation by performing the opening ceremony. At the junior high level, students challenged for bragging rights in long jump, high jump, shot put, discus and various running disciplines. Elementary athletes competed for gold, silver and bronze in events such as the barrel toss, standing long jump, the sack race, the three-legged race and an obstacle relay race. If you were in attendance, you would have seen a month’s work on full display in the middle of the track.
Students from Career Pathways School [Wabasca-Desmarais], with assistance from Elder Albert Yellowknee, built a tipi from scratch. They hand-picked, peeled, cut, sanded and varnished tipi poles and followed proper protocol during this process. Elementary students were also introduced to a creative approach to hands-on learning. Students, with assistance from Randy Chernipeski, CTS School/Industry Partnership Administrator and Maureen Chernipeski, Pedagogical Supervisor, built hula hoops with plumbing tools. Thank you Northland Games Committee, the cooks, school staff, coaches and volunteers for making the Northland Games a success!
