October 24, Carman Metis History Walk with speaker Chris Larsen @ 10:30 am
-
Walk where the names have changed. Listen for the stories that remain. Along the Boyne River in Carman, we will walk with a question: When a place is renamed, what happens to the stories held within the original name? From Rivière aux Îlets-du-Bois (River of Wooded Islands) to the Boyne River, this landscape carries histories of Indigenous peoples, Métis families, settlers, land, belonging, and change. This Camino is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and consider: Whose story do we inherit? Whose story is missing? What is our responsibility when we discover what we were never taught? A walk toward truth begins with the courage to ask better questions.
-
Join us on a 6 km walk near the Boyne River formerly known as Riviere aux Ilets du Bois, in Carman, with guest speaker, Chris Larsen, Metis artist and Riverkeeper. We will follow the Carman Community Pathway starting at Ryall Park (#2 on map we will send you upon registration), going east to Tall Grass Prairie and continuing south then west and diverting onto King's Park Drive instead of Caddy lane. It should take 1 hour to walk the 6 km loop. You are invited to join us for lunch after the walk, around noon, at Boyne Bistro, in the Private Dining Room ( 120 4th Ave. SW ). Suggested donation: $10
