Indigenous relay features team building, something different for students
Since 2002, students at Saskatchewan Polytechnic have participated in some form of Indigenous Relay event as part of back-to-school welcome week activities.
While the event hasn’t happened every year, rain couldn’t keep it from happening again in 2018. Soggy conditions made things interesting for competitors, but the weather appeared to lighten up just in time for the race to happen.
“My favourite part of the relay isn’t actually a part of the relay, but just watching the students come together as a team, and finish as a team, I think is a great team-building activity, and just all around fun,” Carrie McCloy, one of the relay’s organizers said.
The relay is part of Sask. Polytechnic’s Indigenous Welcome week, which McCloy described as a way to get the new school year started off on the right foot.
