Indigenous Peer Mentor Payton organized a fun egg hunt at Cplul’kw’ten today 🥚✨
It’s always nice to end the semester on something fun. Students took a break, shared some laughs, and enjoyed a bit of light competition together.
A good reminder that connection and community matter just as much as the work.
