In honour of Secret Path Week, NWP Indigenous Services is hosting a FREE screening of the CBC documentary "The Secret Path," an animated film from Gord Downie that tells the true story of Chanie Wenjack, a 12-year-old boy who died while trying to escape from a residential school and travel back home.

*Please note that this event has a recommended age of 13+

After the screening, we’ll come together for a healing circle to hold space for each other. Support will be on hand to walk through feelings.
