Song For Courage

The Song for Courage was written by Cree-Dene artist from Little Red River Cree Nation,

Sherryl Sewepagaham, to honour our grade 7 students transitioning into a bigger world.

We are bringing this song out now to offer strength and courage to all youth in Burnaby

as they face moments of transition throughout their learning journey.
