| Alex Tétrault making fire in the wilderness |
Saturday, 28 November 2015
This fall, the Redpath Museum received funding from the McGill Sustainability Projects Fund for
Survival Sundays. The goal of this project is to enable undergrads to explore and share skills needed for self-sufficient living while discussing the philosophy of sustainability and fostering a connection to nature.
In September we foraged for wild foods
around campus and in October we explored how to transform our harvest so
it would last through the winter. In November, we carved wooden spoons,
weaved rope from harvested plant fibers, and
started fire using a bow drill. Feedback from students has been
fantastic and we’ve had a lot of fun. If you’re interested in joining us
this winter, we’re ideally looking for students who can come to all
four workshops. If that’s you, please register here:
514-398-4094 or redpath.museum@mcgill.ca. These workshops are free for McGill undergrads!
