National Indigenous Peoples Day Celebration & Good Neighbour BBQ

Join us for a family-friendly celebration recognizing National Indigenous Peoples Day. Enjoy an afternoon of culture, connection and community at Fred John’s Park, featuring cultural teachings, performances, and hands-on activities for all ages. The event begins with greetings, a circle and prayer led by Knowledge Keeper Joeanne Swampy and Creating Hope Society. Throughout the day, participants can take part in a guided medicine walk and teachings around the park, or drop into activity stations including face painting, art activities, crafts, a book corner, and vendor booths. At noon, enjoy a free Good Neighbour BBQ while taking part in a light-hearted “Best Dad Joke” competition in honour of Father’s Day. Traditional dancers will perform in the afternoon, with a brief introduction to cultural protocol. This event is presented in partnership with the City of Leduc (FCSS and FRN) , Creating Hope Society , BGC Leduc and the Leduc Arts Foundry . Everyone is welcome!
