Please join us for a potluck supper followed by our guest speaker, who will talk about "Finding Home: Crossing Hills & Oceans to the Saskatchewan Prairie".
Our speaker came to Canada as a refugee from East Africa in 2008. Her childhood was marked with loss of family members, constant upheavals, and the uncertainty of being an illegal immigrant in strange lands. Integration in Canada was marked with internal difficulties of immigrant life and in reconciling her vision of Canada as a humanitarian haven with the realities of the legacy of colonization in Saskatchewan.
The potluck starts at 6:00 pm. Bring a dish to share and your own plate and cutlery. Guest speaker starts at 7:00 pm.
This event is hosted by Wesley's Social Justice Committee.
Everyone is welcome! If you can't make it to the potluck, please feel free to come at 6:45 for the speaker.
There will be lots of food, so please come join us!
