Project NOWE (Nakoda Outdoor Wilderness Education) is an experiential, outdoor education program at Morley Community School, which is under the Stoney Education Authority in Morley, Alberta.
Situated at the junction of Kananaskis and Bow Rivers at the foot of the Canadian Rockies, Morley is positioned as the ultimate springboard for just about any mountain adventure: world class canoeing, kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, ice climbing, skiing and skating are literally on our doorstep.
The youth involved with Project NOWE are Stoney-Nakoda First Nations. They have grown up here and have family roots going back hundreds of year, generations, on this land.
Teachers are Amy Sagan and Tom Wolfe, both of whom have spent years working at Morley School on the reserve.
