MacEwan Staff/Faculty Book Club – Nov. and Dec. meetings

MacEwan Today

We acknowledge that the land on which we gather in Treaty Six Territory is the traditional gathering place for many Indigenous people. We honour and respect the history, languages, ceremonies and culture of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit who call this territory home.

The First People’s connection to the land teaches us about our inherent responsibility to protect and respect Mother Earth. With this acknowledgement, we honour the ancestors and children who have been buried here, missing and murdered Indigenous women and men, and the process of ongoing collective healing for all human beings. We are reminded that we are all treaty people and of the responsibility we have to one another.

For those that can make it, our next meeting is on Thursday, Nov. 21 from 12 to 1 p.m. in Towers. We’ll be discussing Wrong Place, Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister.

There has been interest to meet in December, so we’ll be meeting on Thursday, Dec. 12 from 12 to 1 p.m. by Deville. Anxious People by Fredrik Backman has been selected, and we hope to see you there!

Please RSVP for December (to get a rough idea of numbers) and/or give input for future meetings.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please reach out to Erinne Babcock at babcocke3@macewan.ca.
