Braiding Together
is an in-person event hosted by the Religious and Moral Education Council (RMEC), for educators and all those seeking to deepen their response to the Calls to Action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by engaging in authentic and intentional dialogue on the path to healing and wholeness. We seek to support teachers and leaders in embracing their essential role as facilitators of critical and restorative conversations, supporting engagement to deepen awareness of the rich history and current realities of Indigenous Peoples across the nation, exploring pathways of possibility & empowerment.
“In Two Canoes” is the third conference in our Braiding Together series, and will delve more deeply into human dignity as we dialogue together, side by side, considering the metaphor of two canoes, in our journey towards Truth and Reconciliation.
We are privileged to welcome back, with their experience, wisdom and insights, both Archbishop Bolen and Cadmus Delorme., Former Chief of Cowessess First Nation. Stay tuned for our roster of yet to be announced contributors!
Cadmus Delorme has served two terms as Chief in Cowessess First Nation, and is currently a consultant to Indigenous Nations and others, continuing to share the message that “We can’t control other people’s actions and we can’t control a system that is outdated, but what we can control is our thoughts and we can control our own actions.”
Archbishop Donald Bolen of Regina is one of six bishops to accompany the delegation of Metis, Inuit, and First Nations to Rome to meet with Pope Francis. He was instrumental in coordinating the Papal visit to Canada in July of 2022.
