SAVE THE DATE! Special Storytime Event for Indigenous People’s Day Weekend
Families are invited to celebrate and learn about local Indigenous culture at a special interactive Storytime event on Sunday, June 22, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the Oakville Museum. St. Jude’s, in partnership with the Oakville Museum, is delighted to present this engaging afternoon featuring author and illustrator Jennifer Faria, a member of the Chippewas of Rama First Nation. Based in Burlington, ON, Jennifer is the creator of picture books, Raven, Rabbit, Deer and its sequel, Finding Moose.
Children and their caregivers will enjoy a live reading with Jennifer, followed by a hands-on craft activity inspired by her books’ themes. The event continues with a light snack and a visit to the Debwewin: The Truth Project Exhibition, where families can explore interactive elements and deepen their understanding of Indigenous history and contemporary experiences.
This event is recommended for children aged 3 and older, accompanied by an adult caregiver. It promises to be a meaningful and memorable experience that encourages cultural connection and learning through storytelling, art, and play as together we honour National Indigenous People’s Day weekend.
Oakville Museum is located very close to St. Jude’s in Old Oakville, at 8 Navy St, Oakville, ON L6J 2Y5. Free and accessible parking is available at the Oakville Museum lot.
