BACK TO SCHOOL PICNIC
Launched in 2002 and inspired by a young mother’s story where she faced many systemic barriers to collect school supplies for her children, the Aboriginal Back to School Picnic (BTSP) is a grassroots initiative that aims to reconcile Indigenous students’ relationships and experiences with government systems (including those systems charged with the responsibility of ensuring the safety, well-being and educational outcomes for Indigenous children, youth and young adults) and, to provide a positive and inclusive environment for Indigenous children, youth and their families as they prepare to go back to school!
Call for Volunteers!
