Episode 9: Sandy, Duncan, and Truth & Reconciliation

Every Square Centimetre

In episode 9 our virtual tour of Canada takes the ferry to the “Warm Land” of Duncan Christian School in Duncan, British Columbia with grade six teacher Sandy Veenstra. Join our ESC “gang” hosted by Sandy and her 40 year teaching journey into deeper truth and reconciliation with the Cowichan Tribes as we learn: how thankful Darren, Justin and I are for our elementary school teachers - one of them even gave one of us a friend...; why Darren is so smart… (hint: it was Sandy.); conventions provide wonderful stories, of which some are embarrassing; that Duncan is called the City of Totems; how Duncan Christian has walked faithfully through some major demographic shifts… namely embracing their indigenous neighbours of the Cowichan Tribes; how a Christian school teacher’s journey can transform their life outside of school; and how navigating difference with love and humility can lead to holiness and wisdom.
