Together as a community we are on this journey of reconciliation. The truths of families and survivors of Canadian residential schools have left permanent scars on communities and our nation.
In the spirit of healing and reconciliation, we will gather by the gazebo in King’s Navy Yard Park Saturday, September 26, 2026. Join us and Ska:na Family Learning Centre to learn more about Indigenous culture, and watch demonstrations of dancing, drumming and storytelling.
Learn and listen from Elders and motivational speakers from the community. Children’s activities will take place at the teepee, and Indigenous vendors will be in the park selling products.
EVERYONE IS WELCOME!

GINDAASDAA CIRCLE at River Bookshop from 2-3pm
The GINDAASDAA Circle is a book club focusing on Indigenous authors who’ve written about Indigenous Knowledge, Reconciliation and Worldviews.
GINDAASDAA (Ghin-daahs-daah) means ‘looking at something together and learning from it’ in the Ojibwe language.
Every month, a book will be chosen for everyone to read, review and to discuss at the bi-monthly GINDAASDAA Circle meeting.
September’s book is Sons of Tecumseh, written by Maurice Switzer. Meet Maurice at River Bookshop (67 Richmond St.) from 2-3pm.
