Children’s Choir Road Trip

Image

Last Friday, the Saint Andrew’s Children’s Choir went on a “Road Trip”  to Farraline Place to visit retired Senior Choir member, Mrs. Helene O’Donnell, a Farraline resident for several years. Helene and her sister were the first babies baptized at Saint Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, during the first service held in our building.  The children were warmly welcomed by the staff and residents and sang three Christmas pieces for them. The residents joined the choir in singing a couple of familiar Christmas carols.  Everyone had a wonderful time!

KAIROS Blanket Exercise

blanketexerciseThe KAIROS Blanket Exercise is a teaching tool that uses participatory popular education to raise awareness of the nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. It teaches a history of Canada that most people never learn. Since its creation in 1997, it has been done hundreds of times with thousands of people of all ages and from all backgrounds, by a wide variety of groups that include Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. It is a way to open, or continue, the conversation about decolonization. The exercise is designed to deepen understanding of the denial of Indigenous peoples’ nationhood throughout Canadian history. It explores the major themes and recommendations of the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP), examines how federal policies and programs impact the lives of Indigenous peoples in Canada, and identifies what Indigenous peoples and their allies are doing to bring about positive change.

Imelda Perley, elder-in-residence, Mi’kmaq-Wolastoqey Centre, Faculty of Education, UNB will be with us.

When: Saturday, November 19, 2016.

Begins at 9:30 am with coffee and fellowship.
Concludes with a light lunch at noon.

Where: Saint Andrew’s Presbyterian Church
