This week, students in the Outside 45 program spent three days with Delmar Williams, an instructor on earth-based survival skills from the Squamish and Lil’wat Nation.
Williams taught fire-building and carving techniques to students.
On Tuesday, they carved chunks of cedar into spoons that they will use on upcoming camping trips. For many years now, students at BICS have been learning from members of the Squamish Nation.
Elders from the Nation have taught students about the culture and language of the Squamish people and the history of the south coast of BC.
