Simon Fraser University recently announced the recipients of the 2025 Cmolik–SFU Grant Program and several schools will be using the funds for projects that involve Indigenous culture and/or education. Hawthorne Elementary in SD37 will create a video-based curriculum for K–12 classrooms that blends biology, culture, and reconciliation lessons. Cedar Hill Middle School students (SD61) will be guided by Indigenous Education leaders as they use film, audio, and photography to document Indigenous land-based learning. Penfield Elementary students (SD72) will co-create a collaborative mural and bilingual picture books in English and a local Indigenous language. “The Cmolik–SFU Grant Program has the potential to strengthen the educational experiences and learning outcomes for generations of students, and we are excited to see such an enthusiastic response from education communities across BC,” said SFU Education Dean Dan Laitsch.
