Two members of the BC Lions visited Burns Lake recently and spoke to students and staff at Lakes District Secondary School. They spoke about The Be More Than A Bystander program. The program is designed specifically for youth in Grades 8 to 12, emphasizing the role everyone can play in promoting healthy relationships and creating more respectful, peaceful schools and communities. The Be More Than A Bystander program is based on the work of Jackson Katz, an educator, author and filmmaker, who is internationally recognized for his ground-breaking work in the field of gender violence prevention education. The assembly utilized video clips and multi-media to highlight the problem of gender violence and introduce the bystander approach to the students. (Submitted photos)
