Winter Programme

The Nogemag C.A.R.E. project has offered many different programmes since it began operating in the summer of 2002. In partnership with the Elsipogtog Band and Elsipogtog School and in cooperation with Justice Canada, HRDC, Crime Prevention and RBC, Nogemag has created innovative projects to help at-risk youth from the Elsipogtog community.

The winter programme developed to helps students whose needs were not being met in the regular school setting. The Nogemag Healing Lodge Farm is a renovated farm house, located across the River from Elsipogtog. At this alternative site, students were given the opportunity to learn by doing. Students took part in talking circles, cultural activities and educational instruction. Reading, Writing and Math skills were combined with life skills training.
