The Faculty of Adventure, Culinary Arts and Tourism is supporting two initiatives relating to Coyote. One involves students working with the Simpcw First Nation near Barriere in developing mountain bike trails. That project also involves the BC Aboriginal Youth Mountain Biking Project group to establish the community as a world-class destination for riding and outdoor recreation.
The second project involves the White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society in Kamloops. It connects Indigenous youth with cultural aspects of fishing, canoeing and other activities during a daylong field course at an area lake. Students connect with elders and learn about traditions and food sources.
