Seventeen 8th grade leadership students from Max Aitken Academy recently spent an incredible three days at New Brunswick’s beautiful Mount Carleton Provincial Park. Students set up camp, canoed, hiked, and worked together while demonstrating outstanding teamwork, thoughtfulness, and leadership throughout the experience.
This special outdoor learning opportunity allowed students to be fully present with nature while reflecting on the importance of connection to the land. During the trip, students took time to acknowledge Indigenous perspectives as they observed both Truth and Reconciliation Day and Treaty Day over their stay at the park.
We are extremely proud of the collaboration, respect, and sense of community shown by these young leaders. A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who helped make this memorable trip possible, including NB Parks, ASD-N and MAA.
Wela’lin!
