On Wednesday, students at Claude E. Garton Public School took part in a school-wide fundraiser to walk for clean water in First Nation communities. Classes took turns completing a two-kilometre walk inside the school to acknowledge the labour required by members of some Ontario First Nation communities to access clean water. The initiative emerged from a social studies unit in the school’s Grade 3/4 French immersion class studying the province’s access to clean water. The students learned that some Ontario First Nation communities, such as Attawapiskat First Nation, do not have reliable access to clean drinking water and require a two-kilometre walk to access it.
