Join us in the Indigenous Student Support Centre (F205, Notre Dame Campus) on March 20 as we honour Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ Celebration and Awareness Day.

Throughout the day, we’ll be screening a selection of Two-Spirit short films, offering opportunities to learn, reflect, and celebrate diverse identities and experiences. This drop-in event is open to all RRC Polytech students and staff. Come for a few minutes or stay for awhile, your presence and participation are warmly welcomed.

Films:

• Deb-we-win Ge-ken-am-aan Our Place in the Circle – Lorne Olson has a vision of Two Spirited people dancing, laughing, and smiling — spurring him to rediscover the strength of the past to better face today’s challenge. (22 min showing)
