The KZ Lodge Program
The KZ Lodge Program at Hammarskjold High School
This highschool program's main goal is to provide added support to Indigenous youth by providing a soft landing that helps ease their transition into a mainstream secondary school setting.
Students gain valuable hands-on skills, while also discovering what it takes to pursue different careers in related job sectors. Students often work towards Green Technology Curriculum, which aims to connect students to Forestry & Natural Resources, Horticulture, Agriculture and more. The KZ Lodge also exposes students to different green industries that exist in Thunder Bay and communities throughout the Northwest Region.
Some topics include:
