Canoe program
Why take your class canoeing?
The canoe is a First Nations invention. First Nations people have travelled waterways of the Yukon by canoe for millennia. First Nations carvers and communities continue to make dugout canoes today.
Our curriculum encourages connections to First Nations ways of knowing, doing and being. Yukon's curriculum also encourages student-centred and place-based learning. Canoes offer a way engage your class in this type of learning.
Canoeing offers students opportunities to develop their core competencies.
Decolonize curriculum delivery as your class experiences the Yukon landscape by canoe! Travelling by canoes allows your class to learn on and from the land and water. Learning can be further enriched through community connections.
