Wednesday June 14, 2017 7pm - 9pm (2 Hours)
Movie / Film Lecture / Seminar Workshop / Class Wheelchair Accessible Community
902 542 0156
Event in Room: Auditorium downstairs
Please join us for a discussion and reflection about Canada 150 and the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
What does the Canada 150 campaign celebrate? Whose perspectives are represented? How does it affect the self-image of those of us who see ourselves as Canadians, and how does it affect relationships between the Indigenous and non-Indigenous people of this land? What are your questions about what this means and what we can do, individually or together?
A variety of short films, radio clips, readings, responses, discussion and reflection will invite you to explore these issues.
Guest Speakers: Amanda Peters, CEO of Glooscap Ventures at Glooscap First Nation, winner of the 2017 Budge Wilson Short Fiction Award Winner through the Nova Scotia Writers Federation, and a 2017 recipient of the Alistair MacLeod Mentorship Program.
* Carolyn Campbell, a community activist and social justice educator who, as a person of Scottish/English descent, believes that White people need to honour their historical and current commitment to the Peace and Friendship Treaties.
Light refreshments will be served.
