Legacy/Secret Path Week

Legacy/ Secret Path ​​Week Information

 

We are challenging our CBE schools to get a combined total of 644 km (400 miles) walked during Secret Path Week, October 17-22. This is to honour and build awareness about the distance that Chanie Wenjack was attempting to walk when he left residential school to reunite with his family. 

 

We will be doing a community walk during pe from Oct 19-23 and tracking our km walked as a school.

 

Secret Path Week is a national movement which occurs annually from Oct 17-22. The week was inspired by Chanie Wenjack, a victim of the residential school system.

Schools have an opportunity to become Legacy Schools and facilitate learning during this week and over the school year through stories of resilience and participating in the 'Walk for Wenjack', which raise awareness of the legacy of residential schools. ​
