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
