BOOKS MAY be the individual windows to the
complexities of life, but personal experience is the
oper. door and the blast of sharp cold air.

By TIMOTHY RENSH

Last weekend, 18 grade
three children from North
Vancouver’s Waldorf school
opened that door of personal
experience and spent a three-
day farm orientation session
at various farms in the
Pemberton Valiey area. The
children were hosted by
several Indian families from

the Mount Currie Indian
Reserve.

Lorna Williams, a native
education consultant at the
Vancouver School Board and
originally from the Mount
Currie area, was one of the
field trip hosts. She says the
trip was a first to that area
for the Waldorf school.

“They came up to learn
about planting, farming, and
life in Mount Currie, but

The children ate several
meals at the farm of Albert
Nelson and his family. They
repaid his hospitality with a
Waldorfian voice concert and
recorder recital.

Williams, who has a

children enrolled in’ the
Waldorf school, says the
benefits of the trip were writ-
