French immersion students from across the school district came together on Friday for the first ever Winter Carnival in Chilliwack.
Winter Carnival is an annual tradition in Quebec celebrating French culture.
Students came together for events at Chilliwack secondary school and Chilliwack middle school all-day long on Feb. 7, 2020.
There was a traditional Bonhomme greeting the kids, baking to purchase, crafts, and a visit from The Maple Man who teaches about the history of maple syrup.
Métis dancer Eloi Homier and fiddler Mike Sanyshyn also entertained the kids but also taught the basics of Métis dancing.
