The Harvest Lunch will be on Sunday, September 20!

Join Us for a Special Harvest Lunch & Medicine Wheel Ceremony

On Sunday, September 20, we invite community to gather with UIVS and ReThink Red Deer for our annual Harvest Gathering-and to say farewell to our beloved Common Ground Garden at Capstone.

For the past four years, Common Ground has been so much more than a garden to our Indigenous Community. It has been a place where our Indigenous community came together to plant, learn, share food, pass on teachings, build relationships, and reconnect with the land.

As the Capstone property is for sale and the community garden prepares to move to the JJ Gaetz area, we will gather for a special ceremony with Elder Beverly Keeshig-Soonias to put our Medicine Wheel Garden to sleep. It will rest until the time comes to replant it at the proposed Indigenous Culture Centre- a place where these and other medicines can continue to grow for future generations.

Please join us as share a meal, honour this special place and look ahead to a new beginning.

A free baked potato bar will be provided.

Community members are invited to bring a potluck dish to share and register their item through Perfect Potluck.
