generations and spotlighting the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools.

This event was made possible thanks to funding through the Children's Rehabilitation Foundation with support from the Manitoba Orange
Shirt Day fund. Special thanks to Indigenous and Metis groups such as The Indigenous Kitchen, W***y Dogs Inc, Dave Lavallee - Lavallee Tradition, and Original Ivan Flett Memorial Dancers. Shout out to .morris.3154 for coming by and stopping at the event!
