Vermilion Blanket Exercise

Thirty people participated in a Blanket Exercise at St. Saviour’s, Vermilion. The event was co-facilitated by Fiona Brownlee, Aboriginal and Rural Communities Liaison for the Diocese of Edmonton, and Kevin John, a Cree instructor from Lakeland College. Many of the participants were from the wider community and many left with the desire for deeper commitment to reconciliation work in the area.
