Event Features
Dinner by Cedar Spoon
Cedar Spoon Indigenous Catering aims to bring awareness to authentic Indigenous Cuisine all that Mother Earth provides us, while celebrating a traditional and regional pantry of ingredients and honouring Canada’s roots from a food perspective.
Performance: Oron’ónhta – Beings of Light
Oron’ónhta (O-lun ‘ un-da) means sunflower in Kanyen’kéha. Smith’s vision for Oron’ónhta / Beings of Light is to celebrate our kinship to non-human entities, to extend greetings, love and respect to nature, to embody the journey of the sunflower seeds from Skyworld to their home on Turtle Island. Four dancers embody the seed journey which is inspired by the Rotinonhsión:ni – Creation Story.
Held in Hendrie Park
All performances and enhanced experiences will take place in Hendrie Park, in the grassy area on the Southeast corner of the Rose Garden.
Arrive / park at RBG Centre (680 Plains Road W. Burlington), and enter the building to access Hendrie Park via the tunnel under Plains Road. Staff and volunteers will be present to help point you in the right direction upon arrival.
