Walking the Land

To honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, St Jude’s cordially invites you to learn about Indigenous heritage of our region at a special presentation:

Darin Wybenga, Manager of Culture, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation
Monday, October 6, 10-11:15am
Victoria Hall, St. Jude’s Anglican Church (and online)
160 William St., Oakville, ON L6J 1C5

Hosted by St. Jude’s Women’s Study Group, ALL parishioners and guests are invited to be part of this timely dialogue. Esteemed Indigenous educator Darin Wybenga will address, “History of Local Lands and Treaties that Govern their Use”, sharing his knowledge and research about Indigenous heritage of the lands and peoples, followed by a question-and-answer period. 

Prior to working with the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Darin Wybenga was an educator in elementary schools in Southern Ontario.  Specializing as a teacher of history and geography, he also served as a vice-principal and curriculum coordinator.  In the past, he has worked for the MCFN as the Traditional Knowledge and Land Use Coordinator, and currently functions as Manager of Culture for the Mississaugas of the Credit’s Department of Consultation and Accommodation.  His work in the department primarily consists of educating project proponents about the history of the treaty lands, territory, and people of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
