On behalf of Elder-In-Residence Paul Guimond, we are pleased to invite you to our Winter Solstice Celebration and Pipe Ceremony on Friday, December 6. This time of year can be challenging for many, and this event offers an opportunity to speak, listen, heal, and rest. The Winter Solstice typically occurs on December 21 – the shortest day of the year – but we invite everyone to gather with us on December 6 before the term comes to a close.

Join us for a Pipe Ceremony in the Indigenous Support Centre at 10am, followed by a short walk down to the wiigiyam (tiipii) to the north outside of F Building for the Sacred Fire Offering. Please dress warmly for the weather. At 12pm, we will Feast together in the Indigenous Support Centre.

Date:     Friday, December 6

Time:     10:00 am – Pipe Ceremony, followed by the Sacred Fire Offering

               12:00 pm – Feast

If you have any questions, please contact Sara McIvor-Prouty, Events Coordinator, at smcivor@rrc.ca

No registration is required – everyone is welcome.
