Wesley Baker-Billy, Grade 10, is creating a traditional cedar strip canoe in his Woodwork class here at Windsor Secondary. Wes is working under the mentorship of Mike Billy, a traditional canoe carver and relative, and supervision of Mr. Alex Van Samang.  Mike Billy is a 7th generation skwxwu7mesh canoe carver who is creating a fleet of dugout and cedar strip canoes for local First Nations, while teaching Windsor staff and students about the traditions, tools and techniques. The projects serve as a multi-generational and multicultural opportunity for learning about traditional skwxwu7mesh ways regarding the canoe and its significance to the Squamish way of life. ​ ( About the Artists – Canoe Cultures )​​
