A program in Pikangikum First Nation, a community 700 kilometres northwest of Thunder Bay, Ont., has been teaching kids everything they need to know about bikes from riding, to bicycle safety, to repairs, to building trails.
Hundreds of people gathered in Pikangikum First Nation in northwestern Ontario on Tuesday to cheer on the 41 students graduating from Eenchokay Birchstick School. The graduates included a mother and daughter celebrating their shared achievement.
Pikangikum First Nation has marked two milestones: the commencement ceremony for Eenchokay Birchstick School's largest graduating class, and the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Queen's University in Kingston, Ont. Here's what the community's young leaders plan to do next.
