Message from the Executive Director
Greetings Members and Supporters,

Wow! What an amazing turnout we had at this year's conference. Thank you to all the members who took the time to attend and the associate members who supported the trade show. It was really great connecting with everyone in person.
Some of the conference highlights are our new board of directors, each of whom I am excited to work with,
the addition of two water ceremonies and a sweat lodge, and watching Rebecca Strong perform in the gardens of the gardens of the Delta Bessborough with our teepees and the river as a backdrop.

As we embark on this next chapter with our recently elected board members, I am eager to hear their perspectives and ideas.

All the best to you and yours,
Rebecca Zagozewski
2024 Conference Highlights
Ceremony in the city. At this year's gathering, in addition to our teepee-raising ceremony, we added two different types of water ceremonies. Norma Rabitskin and Josephine Wichihin shared their teachings and got us started in a good way. Peter Nippi led our sweat lodge ceremonies. Peter and Fred Stonechild blessed our event each morning with a pipe ceremony.
Willow Cree Drum Group opened our event on Tuesday morning, Chester Knight paid tribute to our award winners and members with an honour song and Elmer Tootoosis closed the event.
