We are posting a reminder for the next firekeeper teaching sessions later this month as there has been a change we want you to be aware of.

The two sessions with Perry McLeod-Shabogesic have been moved to BACK-TO-BACK SESSIONS on Tuesday June 23 and Wednesday June 24!

Reminder that these sessions are for Anishinaabek-only.

Call Patricia Migwans at 705-377-5347 ext.2215 or Shaelynn Recollet at 705-377-4902 for more information or to confirm attendance.

We look forward to spending this time with Perry and helping our community members who are interested in learning about the responsibility of caring for that fire.
