This fall, PEC students, families, and community members came together for a series of hands-on cultural activities and celebrations.
Students had the opportunity to take part in an Elders’ Tea, where they shared conversation, laughter, and teachings with community Elders. A lively moose-calling competition brought plenty of excitement and a Kojua session led by Trevor Gould got everyone moving and connecting through dance.
One of the most memorable learning experiences was a plamu workshop with Jeremy Paul. Students learned how to make snares, prepare a plamu, and assist with cleaning and cooking. The workshop ended with everyone enjoying a meal they helped create.
The celebrations continued beyond the classroom as PEC proudly participated in its very first Christmas parade. Our float, themed “Winter in Mi’kma’ki,” showcased the beauty of winter storytelling. The display featured our Elder-in-Residence, Marie Pictou, seated in a rocking chair as she would during a traditional winter story-sharing, along with our students. Their presence brought warmth, meaning, and cultural pride to the community event.
These gatherings and celebrations reflect PEC’s ongoing commitment to honouring Mi’kmaw culture and ensuring our students learn through community, tradition, and shared experiences.
