Canada Day From the Mary Winspear Centre
Streaming on the Mary Winspear Centre Facebook and Youtube. 

Featuring performances by Randy & Tal Bachman, Aaron Pritchett, Tom Wilson, Michael Kaeshammer, Alex Cuba and Jess Moskaluke.

With special guests Doug & Kathy LaFortune, Tsawout First Nation and Virgil & Murray "Muz" Sampson, Tsartlip First Nation.

Sponsored by Sidney Business Improvement Area Society
Filmed on the traditional and unceded territories of the W̱SÁNEĆ First Nations.

Our Canada Day partner Chek News has decided not to broadcast the special on July 1.
The Mary Winspear Centre respects their decision and will be moving forward streaming the video on the Centre’s Facebook and Youtube pages.

It is important to the Mary Winspear Centre to release the video giving our local First Nation elders a platform to share their songs and stories, and giving them a voice to create a national conversation by expressing their grief during this painful time in Canadian history.

We hope that this video will connect all Canadians, allowing us to come together to reflect on our past and move forward by learning from each other by committing to truthful reconciling with Indigenous peoples.

Sincerely,
Brad Edgett
Mary Winspear Centre, Executive Director
