SUMMARY:Indigenous Sharing Circle Gathering (In-Person)

This will be a full day of in-person learning at the Howard Buffalo Memorial Centre in Maskwacis on Monday\, March 23 from 10am – 3pm.\nAs Maria and Billy have been planning for this event\, it has blossomed into an interactive sharing circle of knowledge where topics will be shared that are valuable for any library staff member.

Maria and Billy will be hosting another Sharing Circle Gathering in Maskwacis on October 2\, so if you don’t get a spot in March\, you will have another chance to attend later in the year.\nDue to the limited space in this program\, we ask that no more than two people per library register.\nRegister here: https://parklandab.wufoo.com/forms/zk224xq1gqct4l/\nThe registration deadline will be February 23\, 2026.\nPlease Note: This event will be happening in person only and will not be recorded.
