Jumbo Wild

In the BC interior lies one of the largest and most magnificent mountain areas in the world.  Jumbo Wild is home to a substantial Grizzly population and is considered to be sacred land by the First Nations people who have called it home for over 400 generations.  Students in Room 17/18 were introduced to this issue watching the documentary Jumbo Wild on Netflix which tells the 25 year story of getting this resort developed.  Students were asked to look at the many persepctives and parties involved in this project and then took on a specific role to debate and vote on the issue.  The Hunters, Grizzly Bear biologists, Local Government, First Nations people, Local Citizens, Investors, Architects and Skiiers all took turns arguing their case!  We will now be working on our Newspaper writing skills.   Look for this article coming home soon.
