On May 5-6, 2017, we are inviting Presbyterian and Indigenous youth (ages 15-25) to gather at Camp Kannawin (Sylvan Lake, AB) for a time of fellowship, learning and dialogue about The Presbyterian Church in Canada’s role in healing and reconciliation with Indigenous peoples. The event will begin at 4:30 pm on May 5 and conclude on May 6 at 5:00 pm.
We are thrilled that participants will hear from Shirley Dufour and Grand Chief Wilton Littlechild. Shirley Dufour is a residential school survivor who attended Birtle Indian Residential School (one of the residential schools operated by The Presbyterian Church in Canada). She is a social worker and grief recovery specialist. Wilton Littlechild is a former Commissioner with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Throughout the event, we will consider how young people can contribute to our journey towards reconciliation.

Plans have changed! This coming Sunday, we’ll be going skating! It’s been switched with the February 5th, which will now be a regular meeting!
We’re going to go to Hawrelak Park to skate. It’s free, not too far from the church, and we believe they have skate rentals. (And has great access to public transportation.) We’ll meet there after church, around 1:30.
Please bring your skates, helmets, and snacks to church so you can go direct to Hawrelak Park after the worship service.
