Craft Catch-Up Day

Oki, friends!
We have a special day just for our Indigenous Elders and seniors at the Elder’s Drop-In Centre. All seniors are welcome to join us.
This is our Craft Catch-Up Day. It’s a time to finish beautiful crafts that you have already started here with us.
Did you begin making a Stampede Pin Craft earlier this month? Do you have another project from one of our past craft days that you want to complete?
Bring it with you! Let’s sit together, share stories, and help each other finish our creations in a warm and friendly space.
