Join us on Sunday, September 27, 2026, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Memorial Peace Park in Maple Ridge for a meaningful day of reflection, learning, and community as we come together to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This year's theme, Honouring the Truth: Past, Present and Future, reminds us that reconciliation is an ongoing journey—one that begins with listening, learning, and taking meaningful action.

Hosted by Katzie First Nation, Fraser River Indigenous Society, BC Spokes - Maple Ridge Pitt Meadows, and PLEA Community Services, this free, family-friendly event welcomes everyone to gather in the spirit of remembrance, respect, and hope.

Throughout the day, you can experience:

🧡 Opening march
🧡 Cultural sharing with Indigenous dancers, drummers, and speakers
🧡 Indigenous Healing Tent
🧡 Truth and Reconciliation Information & Learning Tent
🧡 Orange shirt painting
🧡 Community Art Project
🧡 More than 50 Indigenous and local vendors and artisans

Bring your family, friends, and neighbours as we honour Survivors, remember those who never came home, and commit ourselves to building a future rooted in truth, respect, and reconciliation.

We hope to see you there.

Over the past few months, our Men's Circle has shared a meaningful journey of healing, learning, and connection.

Together, participants explored a variety of cultural teachings and hands-on activities, including creating Medicine Wheel vision boards, crafting medicine pouches, participating in a drum workshop, and attending a Sweat Lodge Ceremony. The group also engaged in many heartfelt conversations centered on caring for their spirits through nourishing food, sacred medicines, sobriety, ceremony, and community.

Throughout the program, these men stepped into important roles by supporting ceremony protocols, sharing songs on the drums they created, praying for one another during smudging, and spending time with respected Elders who generously shared their teachings and wisdom.

Our Men's Circle will be taking a short summer break until mid-August. During this time, we will continue accepting referrals for those interested in joining the group when programming resumes.
