Where: Rocky Point Park (2800 Murray St, Port Moody, BC)
Date: June 22
When: 5:00 - 9:00pm

June 21 is National Indigenous Peoples Day (#NIPD2024). For generations, many Indigenous groups and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on June 21 or around that time of year because of the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.

We are thrilled to be hosting a Coast Salish House Post Blessing Ceremony and Feast in honour of National Indigenous Peoples Day at Rocky Point Park June 22, 2024.

Join our community in celebration of three house posts carved by Jonas Jones, Damian George, Brent Sparrow and Xwalacktun. These are the final three of five house posts being raised along these waters as part of the In the Presence of Ancestors project. Feast with us and participate in this beautiful sacred work.
