Exploring Indigenous Perspectives through Storytelling (Guided Walk) – 5 years & under

Witty’s Lagoon Regional Park (Metchosin)

On this interactive program, we invite you and your little ones to walk with CRD Regional Parks Indigenous cultural programmer Leslie McGarry to explore the cultural significance of birds and animals, through a First Peoples lens. The cultural lessons and values shared through the time honoured tradition of storytelling will amaze participants. We will discover how First Peoples passed down important teachings from their respective territories to upcoming generations.
