SUMMARY:World Wetland Day Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Cost: Free\nLocation: Online via Zoom\n\n\n\nDid you know that wetlands are one of Canada’s most imperiled and vital ecosystems? It is estimated that nearly 64% of the world’s wetlands have disappeared since 1990.\n\n\nWetlands provide several vital “ecosystem services” to humans\, including improving water quality (through filtration)\, reducing the impacts of floods (by storing and slowly releasing water instead)\, and most importantly\, providing vital habitat to fish and wildlife. However\, wetlands continue to disappear both in Canada and worldwide.\n\n\nJoin Habitat Committee Member Chloe Hartley as she shares her knowledge wetlands\, their importance and which plants are used for soil remediation!\n\n\nThere will be information about how humans play a role and learn about how we need invasive plant removal and vital planting to restore biodiversity and support the ecosystem.\n\n\n\nHOW TO ATTEND:\nThis event will be a VIRTUAL event and will be held through Zoom. You can register through the link: https://bit.ly/Wetland2023\n\n\nAfter registering\, you will receive an email confirmation from Eventbrite with your link to the Zoom session.\n\nIf you have any questions\, please email: commscoordinator@wildbirdtrust.org

SUMMARY:Remembering the MMIWG
DESCRIPTION:On February 14th in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver community gathers to remember and honour the missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls. Started 30 years ago as a mother mourned her daughter who was murdered on Powell Street\, the annual event winds through the neighbourhood stopping at places where women were last seen or found. The march is an opportunity to be a witness to ceremony and in remembrance alongside family members of those missing or murdered women. \nMore than 6 in 10 Indigenous women report having been physically or sexually assaulted at some point in their lifetime\, as do 4 in 10 non-Indigenous women. This number increases greatly for Indigenous women who are gay\, lesbian or bisexual to 8 in 10. \nAbout every six days\, a woman in Canada is killed by her intimate partner; this number is increasing under the pandemic. Indigenous women in Canada today are 12 times more likely to be missing or murdered than non-Indigenous women; 16 times more likely than white women. \nFour thousand Indigenous women\, girls and Two-Spirit people are missing or have been murdered in Canada in the last thirty years. \nthey invite you to : \n1. DONATE: They hope to raise $1\,000 to pay for the blankets given to grieving families at the opening ceremony of remembrance at the march. Donate at https://pushpay.com/g/standrewswesley \n2. LEARN: Read the 2021 Missing and Murdered Indigenous\, Women\, Girls and 2SLGBTQQIA+ People National Action Plan: Ending Violence. https://mmiwg2splus-nationalactionplan.ca/ \n3. ATTEND: Online and in-person with us on Tuesday\, February 14th from noon to 2pm. \nSign up for event here

SUMMARY:Virtual Launch | kâ-pî-isi-kiskisiyân / The Way I Remember by Solomon Ratt
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, February 22nd at 6pm PST/7pm CST\, join Massy Arts Society\, Massy Books and University of Regina Press for the virtual launch of Solomon Ratt’s kâ-pî-isi-kiskisiyân / The Way I Remember. \nThrough a blend of languages and a combination of âcimisowin (autobiographical stories) and âcathôhkîwina (traditional tales)\, this unique memoir uses a particular Cree sense of humour to reflect on the memories of Solomon Ratt’s life before\, during and after residential school while continuing to celebrate perseverance in the face of these challenges. \nHosted by Arden Ogg\, founder of the Cree Literacy Network\, this evening invites us to celebrate Cree language and resilience. \nThis project has been made possible by the Government of Canada. Ce projet a été rendu possible grâce au gouvernement du Canada. \n  \nAccessibility \nRegistration is free\, open to all and required for the event. This event will be hosted online on Zoom with closed captioning. A recording of the reading will be made available after. \nFor more on accessibility and how to request ASL interpretation please visit: massyarts.com/accessibility. \n  \nAbout The Book \nkâ-pî-isi-kiskisiyân / The Way I Remember (University of Regina Press) \nTorn from his family at the age of six\, Solomon Ratt was placed into the residential school system – far from the love and comfort of home and family. In kâ-pî-isi-kiskisiyân / The Way I Remember\, Ratt reflects on these memories and life-long challenges through his telling of âcimisowin (autobiographical stories) and also âcathôhkîwina (traditional tales). \nPresented in Cree th-dialect Standard Roman Orthography\, syllabics\, and English\, Ratt’s reminiscences of residential school escapades almost always end with a close call and a smile. Even when the memories are dark\, his particularly Cree sense of humour shines\, resulting in an important and unique memoir that emphasizes and celebrates Solomon Ratt’s perseverance and life after residential school. \n  \nAbout the Author \nSolomon Ratt was born on the banks of the Churchill River just north of the community of Stanley Mission. His parents were hunters and fishers who lived off the land\, spending their winters on the trapline and summers fishing in La Ronge. Solomon spent the first six winters of his life with his parents\, who didn’t speak English. They knew the ways of the land\, including the traditional stories passed down through generations\, which they told to Solomon and his siblings. \nThe author of Beginning Cree\, Let’s Keep Speaking Cree\, and Woods Cree Stories\, Solomon has a BA (ORD)\, BA (ADV)\, and an MA from the University of Regina\, and has been instructing at First Nations University of Canada since 1986. He has been awarded the Saskatchewan Order of Merit (2021) and the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee medal (2022). \n  \nThe Host: \nArden Ogg launched the Cree Literacy Network in 2010 to help connect the Cree language in print with the speakers\, teachers and students who need it most. A grandchild of Scottish settlers\, she was placed upon this path by the late Dr Freda Ahenakew CM\, whose many Cree/English bilingual publications she helped produce. \nRegistration here
