French immersion sign-up soon
Contributed ,

Many distinguished and famous Canadians have allested to the im-
portance of bilingualism.

‘As journalist Mary Lou Finlay says, ‘‘In Canada, parents who want
their children to be educated for the future will try to see that they have
the opporturiity to learn English and French.”

' “Bilingualism is essential for those who wish to experience and en-
joy everything Canada has to offer, says internationally accalimed
heart surgeon’ Dr. Wilbert Keon. '‘A knowledge of both languages ex-
tends one’s horizons into every comer of our country.””

 Aecezs to bilingualism i is available here in Terrace through the public
school French immersion program.

They program currently has classes in place for Year 1 to Graduate 2
(kindergarten, to Grade 12).

The unqualified success of the program is evidence of the growing.
awareness parents have of the importance of bilingualism.

“If you are interested i in enrolling your child, you are welcome to call
Sue at 635-4691 or Brian at 635-3115.

A second tegistration will take place at Kiti K’Shan Primary School
approximately one week prior to Sept. 7 — the start of school.

SPECIAL PLACE

B.C. Parks are spacial places for many different-teasons but one of the most
imporlant reasons Is lhal they provide a place to protect plants both bly and smal.
One of the most prevalent plants in the Lakelse Lake Provineial Park is the OOhhhh
smell that... Skunk Cabbage. The entire plant has a skunk odor. The leaves are
simple and larga growing on stout stalks. The flowers are a greenish yellow and they
grow In vary wel, vety swanipy areas In forests. Some nalive people refer ta skunk
cabbage as "Indian wax paper’ because groups with access to the lage shiny leaves
traditionally used hem In many ways such as waxed paper, for lining food-steaming
pils, and wrapping or covering food.

Another common plant at the park is the Thinbleberry Itis an eract shrub up to 5.2
cin lall with large soft mapla shaped leaves. The frulls are raspberry like with red,
halry droplets and julcy, Thimbleberrlas were eaten by all native groups and the
young shools were peeled and eaten raw or cooked with meal ina slew.

Athird major plant in the park fs Devil's Club. This is a fearsome plant to lhe
outdoor hiker, as it has spines that readily break off and soon fester If embedded in
tha skin - henca the name Davil's Club. The leaves are broad, maple-shapad and
have heavily toothed lobes. The flowers are sinall whillsh and numerous in compact
heads. The plant was widely used by native peopla as an ailment for ulcars, diabetes,
and as a cough syrup. ,

One mambar of the berry family that's prevalent in the park fs the Bunchberry. The
plant is fow and trailing and woody at the base and can range from §-20-¢m tall. The
flowers consist of 4 white fo purplish tinged clusters, Tha native people Gitksan ale

’ them with other berries, and used tham in cooking as Ihickaners or glue like agents.

However, most of the ime they were considered only good for hears ar birds.
Another plant which occurs in the Old Growth farast at Lakelsa Lake Park Is caled

_ Goat's Bead. Tha name goat's beard refers to the large while flower clusters, also

known as spaghatil flower, They grow in tha moist forest araas with white tiny
densely packed flowers.

There are lots of plants in the ald growth forest of Lakelse Lake Park and the only
way to Identify the many species is to be there on a frequent basis. The park
interpreter guides trall walks in the park twice a weak. .

Be there and start to identify new plants each week.

See you in the parkl
