A radio is an important source of weather and emergency information during a storm. Have sufficient heating fuel, as regular sources may be cut off. Have emergency heating equipment and fuel (a gas fireplace, wood burning stove or fireplace) so you can keep at least one room liveable. Be sure the room is well ventilated. To keep pipes from freezing, wrap them in insulation or layers of newspapers, covering the newspapers with plastic to keep out moisture. If your water supply could be affected (a well-water pump system), fill your bathtub and spare containers with water. Pouring a pail of water from the tub directly into the bowl can flush a toilet. Avoid opening your refrigerator and freezer to maintain the cold air inside. Food can stay cold in a full refrigerator for up to 24 hours, and in a well-packed freezer for 48 hours (24 hours if it is half-packed). Snowdrifts can also be used as a makeshift freezer for food. If you have medication that requires refrigeration, check with your pharmacist for guidance on proper storage during an extended outage. Make sure you prepare an area outdoors where you can use a cookstove or BBQ to prepare meals, this area must be ventilated. In order to protect against possible voltage irregularities that can occur when power is restored, you should unplug all sensitive electronic equipment, including TVs, stereo, VCR, microwave oven, computer, cordless telephone, answering machine etc.
Cultural Day October 11, 2012 We were fortunate to have had a beautiful day to gather together to celebrate our culture. We learned about trapping from Dennis Ottawa, smoking meat from Barbara and Maurice Tenasco, making bannock from Anna and Eleanor Cote, and many other important skills that so many willing community members provided. Staff and students would like to thank the following people who gave their time to come and teach us the skills and knowledge that have been passed down to them or donated meat that we could use to teach the traditional cooking skills. Anna Cote Eleanor Cote Tim Odjick Barbara Tenascon Maurice Tenascon John Tenasco Sr. Sylvia Morin Jacko Ottawa Stella Chabot John Tenasco Steve Wawatie Rene Racine Daniel Smith (Pinook) Peter Decontie Josee Whiteduck Kevin Hall Rebecca Printup Corey Cote Dennis Ottawa Judy Beaudoin Joan Tenasco Marina McDougall Rose McDougall Pearl Cote Suzanne Odjick Hayden Commando Simon Morin Shilo Cote Christina Smith Verena Jerome Martin Odjick Mike Diabo May McDougall We want to do this again sometime and hope that many of you will be willing to contribute in this important way to the education of our students.
