Yerí7 skukwstsétsemc to all our participants 🤍

In our ribbon skirt making class, presented by the Indigenous Ambassadors Of The Gathering Place, some were stitching for the very first time, while others moved with practiced hands. Still, every skirt carries its own unique story.

This work is more than technique, its connection to culture, to creation, and to each other. Learning lives in the doing, and community is woven in every shared moment.

Grateful to witness it all.

Events are free and open to all.
Free transit is available on May 14 from 12–4 PM via Route #18 (TteS to Lansdowne) and Routes #7 & #9 (Lansdowne to TteS).

Indigenous Peer Mentor Payton organized a fun egg hunt at Cplul’kw’ten today 🥚✨
It’s always nice to end the semester on something fun. Students took a break, shared some laughs, and enjoyed a bit of light competition together.
A good reminder that connection and community matter just as much as the work.
