Vision

Tree of life has five outreaching branches

First nations initiative crest "Protectors of the Forest" represents the role of First Nations students in protecting trees and other forest resources. The Eagle is recognized for its role in connecting the Earth and the air, the Salmon, for its role in connecting the water and roots of the tree, and the circle of Life is represented by the rays of the Sun. The tree of Life has fie outreachign branches to represent the five elements of Earth: Wind, Fire, Minerals, Water and Air. - By Ross and Karen Hunt 2001
