The event will have 2 speakers with different but related perspectives on death and dying. One is Dr. Doris Barwich who is the Executive Director of the BC Centre for Palliative Care. She will be focussed on Compassionate Communities. The other speaker is Gene Harry. Gene is a Squamish Elder who is often invited here to perform ceremony when a Band member is dying. He will be sharing the practices he uses to help people transition at the end of life. There will be discussion following the presentations.
Andy Johnson will be welcoming everyone with the traditional welcome song and Bev Dixon will provide the closing prayer song. Howard Paull will be available to brush people who wish it.
Refreshments will be available in the lobby afterwards.
