Events Calendar
The Forest Terrace Heights community league invites the community to gather for a Blanket Exercise to learn about Canada’s colonial history and the enduring resilience of the Indigenous peoples on whose land we live.
Participants stand on blankets that represent the land and walk through Canada’s history from an Indigenous perspective. The exercise engages critically and emotionally with our shared history, encouraging empathy and understanding. The exercise will end with conversation and contemplation.
This blanket exercise will be led by a team of facilitators from the Musée Heritage Museum, St. Albert, and Michif Cultural Connections. This exercise is intended for adults or teens aged 15 or older. Learn more about the history and purpose of Blanket Exercises by visiting the Kairos Canada https://www.kairosblanketexercise.org/
This free event requires a minimum of 22 participants to take place, and has a maximum of 30. Please note that this program requires a minimum commitment of 2-3 hours.
