Students from Lakewood Elementary in Langford have completed a quilt stitched together for a local residential school survivor.
Bouvier oversees the school’s sewing club and wanted to get students involved in stitching, so she decided to get the students to create a quilt for a residential school survivor.
The grade four and five students spent six months stitching the queen-sized quilt together, which will be going to a recipient from. The national campaign partners quilters with those who have survived Canada’s residential school system and other Indigenous Peoples who have undergone trauma. The quilt features an array of simple design shapes, such as mountains and squares, but students say the focus was on the colour pattern to honour survivors.
Bouvier says the project has enabled the students to learn more about Indigenous Peoples and the history of residential schools. Students say they’re excited to drop off the quilt to its new owner.
