Speaker: Ashley Ohtsijah Hall
An artist talk with accompanying visuals of her practice, shaped and informed by her cultural dichotomy, history, family stories, memories, blood memory, teachings, language, matriarchy, and motherhood. She hopes to inspire the audience to reflect on their own identity and the ways and people who have influenced them. Ashley will be showing her work in the Friendship Hall during this service.
Bio: Ashley is a Kanien’kéha (Mohawk) and Settler visual artist, photographer, and curator living on the unceded territory of the Lekwungen People. She works with Indigenous clients as a Support Worker for community inclusion and volunteers with an artist-run centre as Studio Manager and Board member, with a focus on engagement through community programming and curatorial projects.
Forum: After the service, there will be a coffee/tea break, followed by a forum at 11:15 AM to discuss the topic. Ashley will be present.
Speaker: Steve Morgan
When I first slid down the bank into the ravine and looked around, I was astonished that something so beautiful, so exotic, was hidden just a few hundred metres from my backyard. I knew the land was slated for development, and I remember saying to myself, “This place is going to break my heart.” Fifteen years later, we are still fighting to protect this landform. In the process, we are learning a great deal about the power of maps, the potential of activism, and the power and limits of local government. Join me as I tell the story of the Hidden Ravine.
Bio: Steve Morgan is a biologist, map maker, and community activist. He founded Cumberland Wetlands a decade ago to gather baseline data and advocate for the protection of wetlands and other important landforms from the effects of development in Cumberland, BC.
Forum: After the service, there will be a coffee/tea break, followed by a forum at 11:15 AM to discuss the topic. Steve will be present.

Forum: After the service, there will be a coffee/tea break, followed by a forum at 11:15 AM to discuss the topic. Sarah, John, and Kim will be in attendance.
