Environment Program: The Environment SHSM program at Holy Trinity bundles together courses that will enable students to learn about the environmental challenges facing the world today from a scientific and socio-political context, while looking for sustainable solutions through an Indigenous Worldview lens. The Indigenous people of Turtle Island (North America) lived sustainably upon these lands as stewards of creation for many thousands of years by understanding the how interconnected and dependant we are on the land, air, plants, water and animals. Students in this program will learn from Indigenous people and stories and experience field trips and training like foraging, wilderness survival, paddling techniques, wilderness first aid, all while earning the Red Seal as a Specialist High Skills Major Graduate on their diploma.
