On Friday at 7:30 p.m., the John Elliott Theatre in Georgetown presents a free screening of WaaPaKe (Tomorrow), a National Film Board documentary by Dr. Jules Arita Koostachin that examines the legacy of residential schools.
On Sunday, the Halton Hills Public Library hosts the Moccasin Identifier drop-in program at both its Acton and Georgetown branches (1:30–4:30 p.m.). Participants will use moccasin stencils to reflect on shared treaty responsibilities and learn more about the initiative’s goals.
