McIntosh Memorial/Rotary Meeting Screenshot
Lillian Berg School’s Canadian Heritage Grant, in partnership with the Municipality of Machin, is being put to good use to maintain the McIntosh Indian Residential School Memorial Site.
Grade 7/8 Teacher Shannon Elliot talked about their grant approval and her class’ continued efforts towards reconciliation with the Rotary Club of Dryden during their virtual meeting Wednesday.
Elliot explains it was after her class first visited the site in the fall of 2019 when they decided to take action and apply for the 6 thousand dollar grant.
“We noticed some litter and larger items that had been dumped in the bush and we also noticed how much the grass had grown up around the monument. Many students were saddened by the overgrown grass around the monument, benches and tables. Their words were, they thought the site deserved more care and respect.”
