Many members of Truth and Reconciliation Community – Bobcaygeon were on hand to support and celebrate the Strawberries and the Mishkodeh event on Canal Street mid-June.
The Board of Directors of the Mishkodeh Centre for Indigenous Knowledge (MCIK)have been busy behind the scenes securing Charitable Status for the MCIK. Now that that is in place, informational and fund raising events can begin in earnest.
