To honour the spirit of community and create space for reflection, we’ve made an important update to our Truth and Reconciliation event at Audreys Books.

We will now begin the program with a smudge ceremony at 3:30 PM, outside the bookstore. This will allow us to gather with intention before moving into the screening and discussion.

The screening will follow from 4:00 to 6:00 PM, featuring powerful short films by Indigenous filmmakers, presented in partnership with Local Heroes Film Festival.

We welcome all guests to join us for the full experience as we reflect, listen, and honour the stories being shared.
