TRAIL — The City of Trail is hosting National Day for Truth and Reconciliation programming at the Trail Riverfront Centre on Monday, Sept. 28 and Tuesday, Sept. 29, with the same three-hour program offered each afternoon.
The events run from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Riverfront Centre, 1505 Bay Ave. The city’s program includes traditional plant teachings with Faith Zacherle-Tonasket of the Sinixt Confederacy and a discussion of the Columbia River, salmon restoration and artifacts with author Eileen Delehanty Pearkes, whom the city describes as an ally.
Zacherle-Tonasket and Kate Mizenka of Elk Root Conservation will also lead elderberry tea making and tasting.
The city’s listings for Sept. 28 and Sept. 29 contain the same program and times. Individual start times are not listed for the three activities.
The city asks people planning to attend to “register your spot” through a registration form linked from the event page. The public event listings do not specify whether advance registration is required, whether there is a capacity limit or whether there is an admission charge.
The Trail Riverfront Centre includes accessible washrooms, a universal washroom and an elevator, according to city information about the facility.
National Day for Truth and Reconciliation falls on Wednesday, Sept. 30. As of Monday morning, the city’s events calendar did not list a separate Sept. 30 reconciliation program.
