Renewing Our Spirit, Youth Empowerment Conference – hosted by the Urban Rez Cultural Society.

• From October 12-15, The Urban Rez Cultural Society is hosting their 5th Youth Empowerment Conference

At 4 pm on October 12th, the four-day sacred fire will be lighted. Over the next four days, people from all walks will come together to connect, learn, and share.

Through daily workshops, guests can learn about everything from cultural teachings and ceremonies to self-care and mental health.  They can explore traditional crafts such as drum making, ribbon skirt making, and rattle making while simultaneously gaining an understanding of important concepts like sacredness of self. And they can do so while participating in a wide range of different activities, including a round dance, a feast, and a drum dance. Treffrey Deerfoot, the Guiding Knowledge Keeper for the Keep Tobacco Sacred Collaboration, is a guest of this conference.
​
The conference will also feature special guest speakers, vendors, a fashion show, giveaways, and much more. 

The Edmonton Inn and Suites is located on 11834 Kingsway Avenue in Edmonton, Alberta. Registration opens on October 13 at 1 PM. No pre-registration is required, and all registrants will be fed for free for the duration of the event.
