Join Elder Adrian from the Library’s Elder’s Guidance Circle to learn about the Calling Home Ceremony, a 2005 event that honoured the contributions of First Nations, Metis, and Inuit soldiers who served during the World Wars. This ceremony aimed to return the spirits of fallen warriors to their homeland and put them to rest with their ancestors. Coffee and tea available.
