Peggy Janicki, BEd’01, MEd’14 “I am a Teacher, graphic/facilitator, artist, and author (Spring 2023). I have worked as a classroom Teacher, District Teacher, Indigenous Mentor Teacher, union leader, and adjunct Professor. I identify as a worker and a Canoe Puller. A tenet of Coast Salish War Canoe racing is to “keep your head down and pull!”; it alludes to not looking around at distractions and putting ALL your energy into your paddle. In the spirit of my training and discipline I wish to exert my energies towards creativity, sovereignty, futurity, and joy in its’ many forms” (Janicki, 2022). Janicki, M. (2022, March 5).
