Community Activities
Community Centre
All the main community events happen at the community centre, from sports such as volleyball and exercise classes, to dances, to presentations from visitors from out of town, to band meetings.
Events and Activities in the Community
Blueberries are ready to be picked at the end of August. The season usually lasts a couple of weeks. Teachers are welcome to go blueberry picking. It’s best to pick a lot and freeze them to enjoy over the winter. Favorite sports in the community are hockey, volleyball, and baseball.
The school purchased two brand-new ski-doos (with sleds and helmets) that are available for teachers to use. The school also has traditional wooden snowshoes, but there are limited numbers available, so many teacher prefer to bring their own snowshoes with them.
Eabametoong is working on a community garden, so locally-grown fresh produce may be available in the coming years (the first crop is going to be potatoes).
