Ey Swayel,
Hello & Welcome. Students & Families!
My name is Holly Douglas, this is my 4th year of supporting students and families as the Indigenous Support Worker (ISW) for Courtenay
El. My ancestry is a blend of Coast Salish from the traditional territory of the Xwchíyó:m First Nations and Pilalt Tribe and Scottish/European. Halqemeylem is the traditional language spoken by Xwchíyó:m peoples and is the language that I share in my cultural teachings with students. I am excited for another year to build and strengthen relationships, cultural connections and community through my work with students and families at Courtenay El. Feel free to reach out with any questions about the Indigenous Education program.
~ Holly
