Yukon Dan

October 28, 2022

On Tuesday October 25th and Wednesday October 26th , Grade 5 students (and Grade 4's in Divisions 14 and 15), participated in a hands-on presentation by Yukon Dan. Yukon Dan is a professional gold panner who taught the students how to pan for gold and separate minerals with magnets.  He also brought with him his extensive collection of gold related items and treated students to an engaging and educational interactive discussion about ‘gold fever’ in British Columbia. 

The students thoroughly enjoyed his presentation and even got to take home a small souvenir from Yukon Dan.
