Upcoming Events
Paint a Rock
The Métis Nation Columbia River Society (MNCRS) & the Golden Women’s Resource Centre would like to invite you to decorate a rock honouring, remembering, and acknowledging Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls. This project is inspired by an article from CBC news about Florance Smith, a woman placing painted rocks in public spaces to remember MMIWG. There are rocks and paint supplies available at both the Métis Nation Columbia River Society space and the Women’s Centre, so feel free to stop by during operating hours to participate. Towards the end of the summer, the MNCRS will have a smudging ceremony for the rocks, before placing them on trails around town. There is no specific design, and we ask people to simply decorate a rock with an image, or words that come to mind and heart when reflecting on our Indigenous sisters that have gone missing, and have been murdered, and the disturbing frequency that it happens in our country.
