❤️🖤 VAHS Culture This Week | October 5 to 9 💛🤍

We have a full week of Culture programming ahead, including bannock and yeast bread making, West Coast regalia making, drum making, Community Connection Circle, and our Thanksgiving Community Feast on Friday! 🍂

🥕 Thursday is The Peel: Coming Together for Our Community Feast.
The Peel is about making the preparation part of the community experience. Community members are invited to join our Culture Team to peel and chop vegetables, prepare food, visit, share stories, laugh, lend a hand, and contribute together to the meal we will all share the following day. ❤️

It’s more than preparing food. It’s about connection, belonging, and coming together as a community.

🦃 Thanksgiving Community Feast
Friday, October 9
12:00 PM to 3:30 PM
Everyone is welcome!

📍 449 East Hastings Street, Vancouver
📧 [email protected]

All Culture programs are drop in. Light breakfast and lunch are provided for participants.

We look forward to another beautiful week of learning, sharing, creating, and gathering together. ❤️🖤💛🤍
