Yukon Dan

October 30, 2023

On Tuesday October 24th and Wednesday October 25th, Grade 5 students (and Grade 4's in Divisions 2 and 3) participated in a hands on presentation from 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 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.
