Rhythms of Resilience is a community gathering that celebrates Indigenous strength, culture and resurgence through art, music, dance, performances and storytelling. Held each year in the lead-up to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, this event honours survivors and intergenerational survivors of the Indian residential school and Indian hospital systems.
This year, we recognize and uplift the power of Warrior Women: the matriarchs, mothers, daughters, aunties, grandmothers and knowledge keepers who have carried culture, protected communities and led with strength through generations.
Guided by Indigenous leaders connected to the YWCA, Rhythms of Resilience creates space for community to gather in remembrance and celebration.
This event will take place on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We express gratitude to the First Peoples who continue to steward these lands and waters.
Free childminding will be available from 5:30pm to 8:00pm for children ages 3 to 12. Please indicate your childminding needs when registering.
