Canada’s Residential Schools are the legacy of a world where relationships are severed in the service of power and where people become detached from one another and the complex webs of interdependence. Among the Secwépemc in British Columbia, one such story is that of Phyllis Jack-Webstad, a residential school survivor whose experiences inspired the Orange Shirt Day movement.

RETURNING HOME follows Phyllis on a nationwide educational tour, while her family struggles to heal multigenerational wounds at home in Secwépemc territory. Amid a global pandemic and the lowest salmon run in Canadian history, the film also explores the absence of salmon along the upper Fraser River, and how a multi-year fishing moratorium is tearing at the fabric of Secwépemc communities. By bearing witness to the trauma experienced by Phyllis and her family, RETURNING HOME holds a mirror to the trauma experienced by the natural world, too. For the Secwépemc, healing people and healing the natural world are one and the same.

WHEN: 3pm on September 29th

Please join us to learn more about Redd Fish’s upcoming project- the Stewardship Centre!

The Centre will feature a welcoming café and gift shop, a boardroom available for community use, and a wide range of interpretive, hands-on educational exhibits.
 
As both an interpretive and event space, the Centre will host rotating exhibits, art shows, workshops, and events that highlight the relationship between people, land, and water. Visitors will be invited to explore the ecology of coastal rainforests and salmon-bearing rivers, reflect on the ways human behaviours impact ecosystems, and how nuučaanuł leadership and restoration efforts are shaping healthier futures.

We will be hosting an open house for feedback and more info on the following days:

⭐️September 25th, 11-6
⭐️September 26th, 12-4

This walk is a great way to learn how these two ecosystems are deeply linked—and why protecting one means protecting the other.

A Workshop on Grief, Storytelling, and Mending 

How do we process grief individually? What role does community play in collective grieving? What have we been taught about our grief—and how does that affect how we talk about it? Most importantly, how can we begin to put ourselves back together? 

Join us for an evening of conversation, connection, and hands-on mending. Together, we’ll explore: 
- The stories we carry about grief—where they come from and how they shape us 
- The role of community in holding grief, and how we navigate collective grief 
- How creativity and care—through patchwork, stitching, and gentle conversation—can become acts of resilience 
- How to hold space for our own unique grieving processes 

What to expect: 
- A safe and brave space to share, listen, and reflect 
-  Hands-on instruction in visible mending techniques—learn how to mend your clothes with patchwork and stitching (bring something to mend if you can!) 
- Stories of transformational grief from culture and community  

- An exploration of grief as a force of change and creation 

Let’s come together to stitch our stories, our clothes, and our hearts back together. 

Details: FREE ENTRY

Where: Redd Fish Supply Co

When: 6-8pm

Bring something to mend! Questions? email naas@reddfish.org
