KAIROS Blanket Exercise - a somber sojourn into Indigenous history

4/29/2022

A few people from Blessed Sacrament Parish joined others at St. Timothy Parish on Saturday, April 23 to participate in the Blanket Exercise with the goal of building a better understanding about our shared history as Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. As we moved around on the blankets, which represented Turtle Island (the Indigenous name for North America), we experienced a two-hour journey through 400 years of tragedy. We got a powerful sense of the wrongs that Indigenous people have suffered at the hands of the European colonists, something which continues to this day. It was a very emotional encounter and I would encourage everyone to take part in this exercise. Janice Cummine

​The next one is taking place on May 11, 2022 at St. Boniface Cathedral, from 1 pm to 4 pm.  Registration is free but limited to 30 people. For more information, contact Joanne Laroche at 204-410-4960 or jlaroche@compassionaction.ca
