All are welcome to attend this important event that seeks to:

  • increase non-Aboriginal youth, young adult and adult understanding of Aboriginal communities before contact, during the residential school years and the time following.

  • allow participants through a simulation experience about an aboriginal village, to really seek to understand the experience that has led Aboriginal people to the place they have lived through and now hold in history and culture

  • hear from Aboriginal Youth and Elders about their own history and experience

  • set personal goals for individual future involvement in building right relations with Aboriginal and non-aboriginal people and communities

Our guest presenter, Kathi Camilleri, is the Aboriginal Child and Youth Mental Liaison Worker, Aboriginal head Start Coor dinator, from Laichwiltach Family Life Society in Campbell River. Marion Best, Jim White, Doris Kizinna and Eric Hamlyn will help faciliate the programme for the day of experience, conversation and mutual understanding. Kathi’s presenta tion and simulation exercise has been described as profound, educational and healing. Don’t miss out on your chance to experience the vision of whole and healthy communities, as they once were.
