Some events to take note of…

Our church has been thinking about how we can engage in the process of reconciliation with the Indigenous people of this land, part of which has included developing a territorial land acknowledgement. With this in mind, here are two upcoming events where you can engage with and honour the stories of people from our local Sumas First Nation and beyond:

Orange Shirt Day:

Author Reading – Beatrice Silver:

Join local author, Beatrice Silver, as she reads from and discusses her memoir, Lexeywa – I Pass the Torch to You, telling the compelling story of happy days as a small child with her family, then being uprooted by Indian Affairs and moved to a residential school. Discover how, through sheer force of will, young Beatrice survived these challenging years.
