The community put on a feast last week to mark the occasion and celebrate the achievements of students from Colville Lake School during a year of adapting to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a momentous occasion and, as it was described by Behdzi Ahda First Nation Chief Wilbert Kochon, "a long time coming."
