Winds of Change continues to build momentum and we have some exciting updates to share! We also have the wonderful and inspiring youth leader, Gabrielle Fayant as our speaker.
Gabrielle Fayant was instrumental in conceptualizing and leading the Mass Blanket Exercise on Parliament Hill in June 2015. She and her team at Assembly of Seven Generations is helping us to spread Mass Blanket Exercises across the country this spring as a high point of the campaign. This is chance to hear from her about what it is like to plan and experience a Mass Blanket Exercise.
Gabrielle originates from Fishing Lake Métis Settlement and is the co-founder of a youth-led and youth-driven organization called Assembly of Seven Generations (A7G). She has worked for a number of National Aboriginal Organizations such as the National Association of Friendship Centres, Native Women’s Association of Canada, and the Aboriginal Healing Foundation, and has experience on a number of local, regional, and national advisory committees and councils, such as the Canadian Commission of UNESCO’s Youth Advisory Group, Ottawa Youth Engagement Committee, and Walking With Our Sisters Ottawa. Gabrielle sings with a female drum group called Spirit Flowers.
We will also provide a network and staff update, please see complete agenda below.
