Indigenous Services

The Library is committed to listening to, learning from and building relationships with local Indigenous communities in the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation. Together, we will continue to work to increase community awareness and understanding of Indigenous ways of being, knowing and doing, as well as the impacts of colonization.

Here is what your generosity can provide:

  • $250 supports one storytime program with a Treaty 7 Author. Library patrons of all ages are welcome to join these special storytimes to learn about our shared home.
  • $350 supports one online or in-person session of the Elders’ Guidance Circle. Elders provide education, storytelling and a spiritual component to programming and services, including ceremonies and smudges.
  • $500 contributes to the design, development, and installation of an Indigenous Placemaking Art installation at a Library location. This initiative develops traditional and contemporary artworks that promote understanding of Indigenous peoples and cultures within Treaty 7 territory.
  • $1,200 pays for one virtual session of Caretakers of the Land. This popular virtual program is delivered to students and educators sharing information from Elders, knowledge keepers, Treaty 7 authors, illustrators, performers and Library staff.
