(ANNews) – The Bonnyville Friendship Centre (Centre) is offering a Healing Through Language Conference on Friday, March 28, 2025 in Bonnyville, Alberta. Dr. Jessie Sylvestre, a Dene First language speaker from ejeredeséche Buffalo River, Saskatchewan, will be sharing the importance of healing through language, followed by an afternoon of Dene and Cree crafting of either caribou tufting or fish scale art, led by Cynthia Ganache and Rebekka Gobert, employees of the Centre.
