June 1 to 6: Women, girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people
June 5 to 11: Environment, traditional knowledge and territory
June 10 to 18: Children and youth
June 19 to 25: Languages, cultures and arts

For the first theme please check out this timeline of Influential Indigenous Women: https://indigenous-women-timeline.netlify.app/#/en (or see the link in our bio!)

It acknowledges and recognizes the vital roles and contributions of Indigenous women to Canadian society.

Dear Friends,

  1.  All Learning Centre programs and services are being delivered virtually. In-person activities are postponed until further notice, with the exception of sewing classes that are taking place in person, in strict adherence to Public Health guidelines.
  2. We will continue to provide intake and respond to new inquiries.  Intake appointments and assessments will be conducted over the telephone and online.

For questions regarding programming, you can contact:

  • Regent Park Catering Collective: Allison Gibson, allison@tccld.org
  • Regent Park Sewing Studio: Shahrzad Sadeghi, shahrzad@tccld.org
  • Clear Language & Design: Sally McBeth: sally@tccld.org

As the situation surrounding COVID-19 is rapidly changing, we will alter our approach as required, taking into account advice from public health authorities and based on the best evidence available.

Hopefully, everyone will weather this health emergency and stay well.  Please take care of yourself and your loved ones.

 

Regards,

Alfred Jean-Baptiste
