Today, we spent the day learning and listening. Thank you to everyone who joined us in sharing this journey towards truth and reconciliation 🧡 We especially would like to thank and acknowledge our neighbours from Mînî Thnî including the Elders, artists, and Stoney Nakoda community members for the time and energy they gifted us to share their deep knowledge, personal experience, and rich culture 🫶

Thank you to our hosting partner Town of Canmore
