The Rotary Club of Norfolk Sunrise, along with Grace United Church in Port Dover hosted an Indigenous Speaker Series featuring 4 indigenous speakers with topics ranging from Residential Schools, the Indian Act, the Truth & Reconciliation Commission and wrapping up with a Six Nations Elder speaking on "Living in Two Worlds". The four zoom sessions were well-attended with over 70 participants and the series raised $3000 for the Mohawk Village Memorial Park, a project to provide a healing place for Residential School survivors.Shown in the photo are (left to right) RCNS Members Jim Dawson, Louise Schebesch, Marjorie Dawson; Survivors John Elliot, Roberta Hill, Dawn Hill; and Executive Director of the Memorial Park Foundation, Virginia Ninham.
