Hello Community

NCES is proud to unveil its 2nd weekend workshop Axe Making with Niko helm and Practical Bush Knowledge. Carve and design your handle and create something custom for yourself or a loved one. As the winter rolls in, this workshop will also cover traditional wood species and their role in cooking, heating, shelter building.

Cultural Resilience, Community & Traditional Knowledge

This workshop is the second in a series of youth-focused workshops taking place throughout the winter of 2026–2027. The series is designed to create a welcoming, supportive space where youth can connect with culture, community, traditional knowledge, and positive role models while developing practical skills they can carry into their everyday lives.

Through hands-on activities, cultural learning, storytelling, traditional teachings, and opportunities to work alongside Elders, Knowledge Keepers, Artists, Mentors, and community members, youth will be encouraged to explore who they are, where they come from, and the strengths they carry within themselves and their communities.

The workshops are designed to provide youth with positive direction and meaningful alternatives to negative influences. By participating in engaging, culturally grounded activities, youth will have opportunities to build confidence, develop practical skills, strengthen relationships, and discover new interests and possibilities for their future.

For more information or to register contact Blake Shaa'koon Lepine, Program Supervisor: [email protected]
