Today the Anishinaabe of the Three Fires Confederacy are represented by Bkejwanong. We want to state our respect for the ancestral and ongoing authority of Walpole Island First Nation over its Territory.

Mary Ann Shadd was an educator, publisher, and the first Black woman in North America to publish and edit a newspaper, The Provincial Freeman. Inspired by Shadd’s history, Paper & Play looks to celebrate the newspaper as both a material and tool for community connection and communication.
It may be Fall, but we are looking for Spring! In this easy drop-in workshop participants will create a mini-bouquet of flowers made from newspaper, there are many techniques to explore and many more to create through exploration – perhaps it’s time to stop and smell the roses? Come hangout!
