St Mary’s Anglican Church and Oak Bay United Church are hosting Kathi Camilleri’s “Building Bridges Through Understanding the Village”, an experiential workshop helping us explore our own, personal role in supporting the revival of the values that worked so beautifully in indigenous villages for thousands of years. As a group, we will also explore in‐depth the effects of Residential Schools and Canada’s Policy of Assimilation on Indigenous communities. Full information on the Building Bridges workshops
St Mary’s and Oak Bay United are founding members of the ReconciliACTION Oak Bay Network, a group of twelve community organizations committed to forging community to community relationships with the Songhees and Xwsepsum Nations and taking concrete action to advance Reconciliation in our community and build a just future together.
