Organized by: Ben Calf Robe Society

This year’s conference theme is ‘Our Children Are Sacred’ and will focus on Honouring Life – “Hope, Belonging, Meaning and Purpose,” which is grounded in our Culture. Our presenters will reach our audience and share their experience, as well as their teachings for a healing journey. It will acknowledge and touch on important issues impacting our Indigenous people.

This conference is also a time to celebrate talent and wisdom. We have Indigenous entertainment throughout the two days, guest speakers that will share their work, their passion for working within the Indigenous communities and their own unique gifts. Although some topics may be difficult for some to hear, there will be balance and laughter as well! Please join us as we embark on a 2-day celebration of learning, laughter and loving who we are as caregivers.
