Welcome November, A time of reflection as we transition from fall to winter. The days are getting colder and I have been making more soups and stews. It is back to my crocheting, knitting and sewing.
What does November look like for me so far. Lots to do.
November 08th is National Indigenous Veterans Day. I will be attending the memorial event here in Peace River, Alberta.
November 11th is National Veteran's Day. Please consider attending a memorial event and wearing a poppy to honor our veterans.
I honour both days as my late father was in the army and volunteered to serve this country and protect the land. He was buried in his Legion blazer as was his wish.
November 6th is a Ribbon Skirt Sewing Bee. I have volunteering to help our Peace River Aboriginal Interagency Committee (PRAIC) learn how to sew a basic Ribbon Skirt. I look forward to seeing them at our events throughout the year.
November 15th is our regular PRAIC (Peace River Aboriginal Interagency Committee) meeting. I am grateful to be a part of a group that brings forward Indigenous issues and events to the community and surrounding area.
Some of the great events we host is the May MMIWG walk and gathering, Sept 30 TRC/Orange Shirt Day Walk and Gathering, October 05 Sisters in Spirit Walk and Gathering. There is also an Annual Peace River Pow wow usually in June, this year will be a traditional event so I will be making my regalia so I can dance in 2023.

I have some days available for other presentations if needed. As you may know, November is Family Violence Prevention Month. Nov 19 is International Suicide Loss Day. I encourage you to reach out to survivors you know to extend support and acknowledge this difficult day.
