The Parent Panel – Continued…

Hey folks – it’s an in-person Sunday at 170 Scott, starting at 10:45 a.m. We will have music, Community Time, and…the Parent Panel!  All five of our panelists from the first Parent Panel are able to be present for the second portion (no small feat – a huge shout-out to Jane, Shereen, Karen, Theresa and Roanna for making it work!), so we can pick up where we left off and get beyond the surface-scratching I was lamenting about. 🙂

There are still a couple of details pending, but it is a real possibility that this will be our last morning together at that venue. It’s been a good home, and I’m glad we get to leave it filled with the echoes of a group conversation about the exploration of beliefs – the very thing we exist to do.

Next week (June 4th) we will be in the great outdoors at the Kapabamayak Achaak Healing Forest. This is how the keepers of the space describe its mission:

Kapabamayak Achaak Healing Forest honors Indigenous children lost to or affected by the residential school system, and offers a place for learning and teaching about all injustices from colonialism and racism, past and present. The sharing of our collective stories is a pathway to understanding All Our Relations.

You can learn more and get a look at the space here. The forest is located in St John’s Park, near the corner of Fowler St and Anderson Ave – across from St John’s Cathedral. Here’s the location on Google:
