Please join us as we celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day and our one year anniversary on June 21st.
We will be hosting this event at our centre located in Rotary Park in Spruce Grove, 99 Campsite Road.
The opening ceremony will be at 5:00 pm and the evening will wrap up at 9:00 pm. We will be having traditional fancy and jingle dress dancers, the Abraham Lake Singers, The Reds Metis Youth jiggers, and the evening will wrap up with a concert performance by Edmonton’s own Curt Young!
Curt uses traditional and modern styles of music and dance to share his life experiences and culture with audiences. His music is family-friendly, clap along fun, with storytelling, hand drumming and flute songs. His music touches on Indigenous events that will captive all listeners as every song is its own show. Bringing people together with music, dance, and storytelling has always been apart of our Truth and Reconciliation as Indigenous people.
Along with Curt, we will be welcoming back to our centre the Abraham Lake Singers group from Paul Band Nation. They were with us for our grand opening last year and we can’t wait to have them perform with us again.
We will be having a vendor market on site as well; there are no ATMs on site and we cannot guarantee they accept debit or credit. Please come prepared if you would like to shop.
