During the height of COVID, several parents decided to home school their children on Piers with the assistance of one amazing professional teacher Christina van der Kamp. Christina came to our Local FireSmart Representatives and asked if there was a way we could incorporate some FireSmart teaching into a portion of the schooling for the kids. Low and behold we found an amazing program and teaching tools put together by BC FireSmart, Lesser Slave Lake Education Society and Lesser Slave Lake Bird Observatory. Download Here
The link will give you the course material but there is also a kit available for purchase or check for a loan from a fire base near you. We were able to borrow one from Cobble Hill Fire Base and extended our teachings over a three week period. It's a wonderful kit, the kids had fun and learned a lot. Their parents were quick to tell us that their children's learnings were taken home and shared! :)
