Today, all Aubrey students had the exciting opportunity to take part in a special presentation led by the Vancouver Warriors. The session introduced students to the sport of lacrosse, where they learned about key skills and techniques, the fast-paced nature of the game, and what it takes to play at a high level.

Students also explored the rich history of lacrosse and its deep Indigenous roots, learning how the game has long been played as a sport, a ceremony, and a way to build community. This historical perspective helped students better understand the cultural significance of lacrosse beyond the modern game.

Adding to the excitement, students learned that lacrosse will be included as an Olympic sport at the 2028 Games, highlighting how this traditional sport continues to grow and gain recognition on the world stage.

The presentation was engaging, informative, and inspiring, leaving students with a greater appreciation for the sport, its history, and its future. A big thank you to the Vancouver Warriors for sharing their knowledge and passion with our students!
