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 from 12pm-4pm on Saturday, September 28.

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 bead work, ribbon skirts, candles, jewelry, natural soaps and more.
