June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day. National Indigenous Peoples Day takes place on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. For generations, many First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities have celebrated their cultures, languages, and traditions at this time of year.

Join the Arts & Culture Council of Strathcona County - ACCSC at the Ardrossan Recreation Complex to celebrate the Summer Solstice, share and celebrate the rich and diverse cultures and traditions and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples.

They will open the day with a pipe ceremony to welcome this new season; followed by an Indigenous Market, Dancers & Singers, guest speaker Roberta Alook, Kids' Corner, a Motorcycle Show 'n' Shine, a Feast and more!

Don't go so far as to buy a pet for your mourning friend because pets are a huge responsibility. And especially early in grief, most mourners don't have the energy to care for a new pet. Maybe consider visiting an animal shelter.

Good afternoon BriarPatch Families. We are excited to share that we are in the final stretch of launching our BriarPatch Out of School Care Program. This program will support children in school, starting with Grade 1. OSC programming will include PD Days, November Break, Christmas Break, Spring Break and Summer Break.

The location will be our current BriarPatch Community Preschool space, located on the main floor - , 50 Brentwood Boulevard in Sherwood Park. Launch date will be end of August, before school starts. Bussing will be beside our building as well. If you have a child heading into Grade 1 in the Fall and haven't yet had a chance to secure OSC programming, do let us know. We have chosen 30 children as our maximum number but know that will take time to get to that number for this new program. For any littles who are starting Kindergarten in the Fall, they can remain here on site at the Cottage until they begin Grade 1. Bussing is also available here for those littles as they begin "big school."

Please share if you know of any families in our community who are searching for OSC or Kinder Care. For more information or to register, please email us at [email protected]. Thank you!
