Attention All Educators

Land-Based Learning Programs

With spring arriving, we are excited to once again offer our Land-Based Learning Program at Caledonia in collaboration with the Indigenous Education Department of SD#57.

This is a great opportunity for educators in our community to bring their classes out for a full day of outdoor, experiential learning. The program is built around connecting students to the land through hands-on, place-based activities that support curriculum goals while incorporating Indigenous ways of knowing and learning.

Students rotate through three activity stations during the day, each running for approximately 45 minutes. Available activities include archery (hunting), medicinal plants with Jessica Field (gathering), shelter building (survival), food cache (storage), and nature scavenger hunts.

A typical day runs from a 9:30 am arrival through to early afternoon, with time for three sessions and lunch. We provide lesson plans, materials, and on-site support to help make the day run smoothly.

To create a strong learning experience, we recommend a shared delivery model:

• Teacher or EA leads one station (or Jessica Field if available)
• Indigenous Education Worker (IEW) leads one station
• Caledonia Nordic staff supports the third station

We offer on-site support for $6 per student, which covers materials, setup, and facilitation support.

Full-day bookings are strongly encouraged, as they allow students to fully engage in all three stations and get the most out of the experience. We are already seeing strong interest, so booking early is recommended to secure your preferred dates.

We are looking forward to welcoming classes back out on the land this spring.

The Disc Golf Course is officially OPEN!

There is still a bit of everything out there right now—snow, ice, mud, and some classic early spring conditions—so take it easy and watch your footing as you make your way around.

We are also still seeing a few skiers out squeezing in those final laps. Give them a heads up, take a look before you throw, and use a spotter when needed. A little awareness goes a long way this time of year—let’s all share the space and keep it fun and safe for everyone.

Great to see people getting back out there.



Upcoming: Doomsday Disc Golf Series

We also have the Doomsday Disc Golf Series coming to Prince George. This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in trying out a fun, low-pressure tournament environment and getting a feel for competitive play.

Paved Trail Etiquette

As the snow continues to melt, more and more of our paved trail network is opening up. It is great to see people getting back out there, and we will continue to see increased use as conditions improve.

A few quick reminders to help keep things safe and enjoyable for everyone:

• As always, please follow all directional arrows and posted signage
• Roller skiers have the right of way. The network was designed for roller skiing, and unlike bikes or runners, they do not have brakes
• Be aware of your surroundings and keep your head up—especially on corners and hills
• If you are walking or running, stay to the side and be predictable in your movements
• When passing, give plenty of space and communicate clearly
• When crossing paved trails, look to see if skiers are approaching

This is a shared space, and a little awareness goes a long way. We are lucky to have this network, and it is great to see it being used by so many different groups.

Looking forward to another busy Spring and Summer out there.

Reminder: No Fires May 1- Oct 31

A quick reminder to all members that Caledonia Nordic Ski Club has a fire ban in place from May 1 through October 31.

This is in response to the wildfire risk we see across BC each year and is an important step in protecting our trails, facilities, and surrounding forest.

We appreciate everyone’s support and understanding in helping keep the area safe.
