National Day of Truth and Reconciliation - Special Event

The three hand printed letterpress postcard designs that will be given away during the NDTR event.

It's been great working with the teams at Route 22 Gallery and Wazin Îchinabi Ti to plan out a day that looks to honour Indigenous culture, survivors of Residential Schools and ask the question to both settlers and Indigenous folks, "What does Reconciliation mean to you?". 

I will be there with my trusty Kelsey printing press to demo printing a special message on these keepsake postcards. Making these was a labour of love from an idea I had last September (but it was too close to NDTR to execute with justice!) and having some collaborative conversations with my friends and colleagues at Route 22 and Wazin built the foundation for this full day of which I am humbled to be a small part of. 

There will be so many teachings and ways to learn - I hope you will join us. I ESPECIALLY hope you will join us if you want to mark NDTR but have been unsure of how to do so. Settlers, newcomers, Indigenous folks - ALL ARE WELCOME. 

It has been an absolute pleasure to not only work with Route 22 and Wazin, but to have this event bubble up organically to include The Town of Cochrane, Cochrane Public Library, The Otipemisiwak Government, and Alberta Culture Days!
