The event will include teachings about the cultural significance of sweetgrass, guidance on respectful harvesting practices, and hands-on instruction in sweetgrass braiding. Participants will also take part in traditional drumming songs and smudging led by Cara Loft, Educational Developer for Indigenous Knowledges and Pedagogies at the University of Guelph. Attendees will have the opportunity to take home their own sweetgrass braid or create braids to be donated to the Indigenous Student Centre. Tea and light refreshments will be provided.

Registration is open to all First Nations, Inuit, and Métis-identifying students, staff, and faculty. If space remains available, registration will later be expanded to the broader community.

Tea and light refreshments will be provided. Please let us know of any dietary restrictions when registering.

We look forward to sharing this experience with you.
