Echos of Reconciliation

We are excited to announce that HEDR and Grandmother’s Voice have partnered to guide the Halton Community on the path of Reconciliation. To celebrate this new partnership, we are hosting the Echoes of Reconciliation Art & Music Festival. Join us as we work towards meaningful change in OUR community. Together, we will listen to the Echoes of wisdom from our Ancestors to amplify their teachings and messages of healing. By honouring the past, celebrating the present, and embracing these lessons, we will build a future grounded in reconciliation and unity.

This festival features Indigenous musicians, speakers, and wisdom keepers and vendors each bringing their unique voice and perspective. Whether you’re a member of the Indigenous community, an ally or someone eager to learn, we welcome you to participate in this celebration of resilience, culture, and the ongoing journey towards truth and reconciliation.

Festival Highlights Include:

• Community Art Project: Contribute to a tile mosaic of the Two Row Wampum, a symbol of unity and respect.
• Live Music Performances: Experience the soulful sounds of Indigenous Singer/Songwriter Lacey Hill, along with traditional drumming and singing performances.
• Speakers and Panels: Hear from esteemed speakers and panelists who will share their knowledge and insights on Truth and Reconciliation, inspiring dialogue and education.
• Wisdom Keepers’ Stories: Engage with the profound stories and teachings of Indigenous wisdom keepers, offering guidance and a deeper understanding of reconciliation and what it means to be connected in community

Come and be part of this powerful event as we honor the past, celebrate the present, and work towards a united future.
