A special mural at St Anne School was unveiled Wednesday night. It was created in partnership with First Nations Artist Kevin Peeace. Every student had input into the work. The endeavour was financed by a grant from the Saskatchewan Arts Board’s, “Artist in Schools,” program. Vice-principal Carol Engel says, “We saw the grant as an opportunity to work with artist Kevin Peeace to co-create a mural honouring the students’ understanding of the reciprocal relationship with the land through the teachings of Elders and Knowledge Keepers.” The project began in February when each student was given a sketchbook for them to create ideas. Peeace spent the next eight weeks working with students, compiling and organizing their work into what has become the mural in the library. Peeace says, “Projects like these are important to foster a better understanding of the environment around us and how it impacts our relationship with each other.”
