🧡 Learning Together This Indigenous History Month 🧡

We recently partnered with The Red Road Healing Society to offer a traditional rattle-making workshop for families in our community.

Participants had the opportunity to learn about Indigenous teachings, culture, and creativity while creating something meaningful to take home.

We're grateful for partnerships that help foster understanding, connection, and lifelong learning.
