“Connecting Youth; Sharing the Stories: A Day of Learning about First Nations”.

On Saturday, September 26; 8:30 am – 3:15 pm, at Knox Waterloo we will be learning about our connection to First Nations People.  What was the Presbyterian Church in Canada’s role in Residential Schools?  What about Healing & Reconciliation (what does that even mean)?  This workshop is aimed at high school and young adults, but adults of all ages are also very welcome to attend.  Throughout the day we will all participate in the Blanket Exercise, a very moving dialogue/visual that will show us, in a very real way, what has happened to First Nations land tracts.  We will hear first hand from a Residential School survivor.  And lunch will be provided.  If you plan to attend please let Joni know ([email protected]).  This will be a very moving experience for everyone.
