SUMMARY:Opening Night: Interactive Art Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Art\, imagination\, and one big question. We return for the third show in the ongoing series\, opening night on September 28 at nvrlnd. \nWhat does Canada Mean to Me? \nEvery Canadian alive right now is shaping this country. Not passively — actively. Through the choices we make\, the communities we build\, the conversations we have or avoid\, and the Canada we hand to the people who come after us. This exhibition asks you to sit with that. Not as a wish\, but as a decision. \nTwenty Calgarian artists have responded to the question at the heart of this series. Their work lines these walls as a reminder: Canada is not finished. Neither are you. \nBut this show isn’t just something you watch. It’s something you contribute to. Woven throughout the exhibition are interactive survey stations where you’ll be asked to weigh in — on what keeps you here\, what you want Canada to look like in 20 years\, what you’d change if you could\, and what you’d protect at all costs. Your responses become part of a growing national dataset we’re building across every city in this series. By the time the tour is complete\, we aim to have over one million Canadian voices on record — the largest open conversation about Canadian identity ever assembled.

SUMMARY:National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:This year\, in celebration of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation\, the Elders of the Elders Story Project (ESP) are moving from Truth towards Reconciliation\, featuring ceremonies that this group has never before shared with an audience. With a free Indigenous Makers Market and Pow Wow Showcase to compliment the evening\, join us on September 30 for a celebration of tradition\, remembrance\, and joy. \nElders from Piikani (Blackfoot) and Stoney (Iyarhe Nakoda) will begin the evening co-leading the Horse Dance Ceremony\, which is a celebration of the partnership between man and horse. This is a visually stunning tradition and tribute. Following the Horse Dance Ceremony will be a Naming Ceremony\, where our very own President and CEO\, Alex Sarian\, and our VP of Strategic Projects\, Tasha Komery\, will each be gifted and honoured with a Blackfoot name. \nAfter intermission\, you will witness a Song Transfer Ceremony. Antoine Goulet of Young Gun Singers has composed a song specifically for Werklund Centre. As is tradition\, this song must be passed to Werklund Centre through ceremony before we can claim it as our own. As we continue to commit to paralleling Indigenous ways with Western ways\, the song is to be treated like a contract or a corporate seal. From the time the song is transferred\, Werklund Centre will incorporate the song into every announcement and agreement made. \nIf this is your first time joining us for National Day for Truth and Reconciliation\, you can expect to see the Elders seated in a semi-circle facing the audience\, inviting the audience to join them in completing the circle and participate in the night’s events. As a gesture of friendship and community\, the evening will end with a Round Dance\, which everyone is welcome to join.
