SUMMARY:Kairos Blanket Exercise
DESCRIPTION:The KAIROS Blanket Exercise is an experiential teaching tool based on participatory popular education methodology that explores the historical and contemporary relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in the land we now know as Canada. Created in 1997 by the Aboriginal Rights Coalition (ARC)\, a precursor to KAIROS\, the Blanket Exercise was initially meant to introduce Canadians to the major themes and findings of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP). The Coalition brought Elders\, Indigenous educators\, and allies who wanted to ensure that RCAP and its recommendations were not shelved and forgotten. The Blanket Exercise is built on the foundation of these long-standing\, collaborative initiatives and relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to raise awareness of continuing injustices and impacts of colonization and to promote further learning. For over two decades\, ARC and now KAIROS have guided its ongoing development with the leadership of Elders and Indigenous facilitators across this land. \nAll are welcome. We ask that you please register so that we know how many participants to prepare for using the Eventbrite link below. \nThis event will be hosted in partnership with the Mashkiwizii Manido Foundation and Petawawa Public Library. The exercise will take place outdoors at the Petawawa Civic Centre outdoor field #5. Participants are welcome to park in the library parking lot by the Civic Centre and walk to the field or they can park in the parking lots adjacent to the Dog Park – aka Scentral Park. In case of rain\, the exercise will take place in the Rotary Room of the Petawawa Civic Centre. \n \n

SUMMARY:Card-making Workshop - Quilt Patterns
DESCRIPTION:Join me\, Heather Rudzinski\, on June 10th from 2:00 – 3:30 pm\, as we create a windmill quilt design greeting card. In this workshop\, you will assemble the pieces of the quilt\, much like putting together a puzzle. We will be layering the quilt onto a beautifully embossed background\, and then embellishing the card with a flower. To complete our card\, we will stamp a sentiment with your choice of quilty quotes. \nQuilting has a long and impressive history in Canada\, dating back to the 1600s when Europeans brought the practice with them when they settled in this country. Quilting in Canada has evolved over the years and became a social activity in which people would gather to sew quilts and share their stories. Modern quilts are not only used for warmth but are an art form in and of themselves\, reflecting different cultures\, regions\, materials\, and techniques. \n  \nREGISTRATION NEEDED \nThis event has limited space\, if you can’t attend\, please let us know so that your spot can be opened to someone else. \nClick Here to Register \n  \nPlease note that the capacity is maximum 10 participants aged 10+\, and kids should have a parent with them. \n

SUMMARY:The Expulsion of Asians in Uganda - Reflecting 50 Years Later
DESCRIPTION:Local Immigration Partnership – Lanark and Renfrew is proud to present the next event in our speaker series line-up this year. \nJoin us on Thursday\, November 17\, for an in-depth virtual discussion and reflection on the expulsion of Asians in Uganda in 1972. November 2 marks the 50th anniversary of this event that left lasting impacts on families for generations and changed the landscape of Uganda forever. \n\n12:00pm-1:00pm Presentation\n1:00pm-1:30pm Q&A\n\nPre-registration is required. Sign up here:\nhttps://algonquincollege.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMlcO6srj8qHNYOyriVqkPjXNBlxOuzn86L \nWe’ll hear from three incredible authors who have spent countless hours researching this time in history\, and some whose families were directly affected. \nNoreen Nasim: Noreen is a debut novelist\, having released her father’s memoir in May 2021. Her father\, Amir\, is an ex-pat from the 1972 Ugandan Asian expulsion ordered by President Idi Amin. She has written her debut novel\, Expelled from Uganda\, which was an Amazon bestseller. \nBharti Dhir: Author of Worth\, a memoir written from a child’s perspective growing up in Uganda and becoming aware of the various prejudices surrounding her birth and adoption. She was found on the roadside in Uganda in Kabale\, and it was reported she was an Asian baby. It was then established I was African-Asian. I was adopted by a Punjabi Sikh family and faced messages of racism\, sexism and prejudice surrounding illegitimacy in the community. Her adoption was a secret too. Her book is about experiences we go through that bring our sense of worth up and those that bring our worth down.\nWith the hope of inspiring people of all ages\, Dhir wants her readers to know that despite the most unfortunate of beginnings\, it is possible for all of us to claim our sense of worth within and not let our past and negative experiences define our future in a negative way.\nMike Molloy: A career foreign service officer\, Mike Molloy has 35 years of experience in international and refugee affairs and served in Japan\, Lebanon\, Minnesota\, Geneva\, Jordan (twice)\, Syria and Kenya. In 1972 he helped bring 6000 Ugandan Asians to Canada. He led the implementation of the refugee provisions of the 1976 Immigration Act\, including the refugee sponsorship program\, the designated classes\, the WUSC student refugee program and the annual refugee planning process. Between 1979 and 1980 he coordinated the resettlement of 60\,000 Indochinese refugees. He served as Counsellor for Humanitarian Affairs at the Canadian Mission in Geneva and managed immigration operations in Jordan\, Syria and East Africa. Following Director General level assignments in Ottawa and Toronto\, he was appointed Ambassador to Jordan (1996-2000) and was Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (2000 to 2003). As (former) President of the Canadian Immigration Historical Society\, he initiated the establishment of the Uganda Asian online archive at Carleton University’s library/archives.

SUMMARY:Yoga in the Park
DESCRIPTION:Local Immigration Partnership – Lanark & Renfrew in partnership with White Pine Yoga\, invites you to come participate in an open-air yoga session and to learn more about yoga – one of the six schools of Hinduism. Through yoga\, one is introduced to the spiritual philosophy of Hinduism\, which is very different from most other world views. \nBring your own mat and be welcomed into a peaceful community at the waterfront (in front of the playground on Fred Blackstein Boulevard). Donations to the St. Joseph’s Foodbank are encouraged. \nThis workshop takes place at Pembroke Waterfront Park (Pembroke Marina). There is no need to pre-register. \nThis workshop is part of Culture Fest Pembroke.
