Calendar of Events

Here are some of the events and projects which members of this class past & present, who have been or are currently involved with today.

Walking With Our Sisters is a project which calls attention to and pays homage to the far too many missing and murdered Indigenous Women who are memorialized in this moving exhibit.


A number of our class members are among the contributing artist list, one of our own is the Head of the Edmonton Chapter.




Idle No More is a grassroots movement which began around Saskatchewan kitchen tables in response to the Canadian Government's enacting of Bill C-45. 

After only one short year's time the movement is now a Global concern with Idle No More groups from numerous countries all over the world now taking up this cause and the issues which surround it.





SCHEDULE “N”
MANDATE FOR THE TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION COMMISSION
There is an emerging and compelling desire to put the events of the past behind us so that we can work towards a stronger and healthier future. 
The truth telling and reconciliation process as part of an overall holistic and comprehensive response to the Indian Residential School legacy is a sincere indication and acknowledgement of the injustices and harms experienced by Aboriginal people and the need for continued healing. This is a profound commitment to establishing new relationships embedded in mutual recognition and respect that will forge a brighter future. The truth of our common experiences will help set our spirits free and pave the way to reconciliation.
