in this workshop join two-spirit poet, smokii sumac, author of you are enough: love poems for the end of the world (kegedonce press, 2018), while he introduces love poems of all kinds, and helps you learn to write your own! smokii's expertise in the love poem began through his own 2-year process of writing daily haiku and posting on social media. over that time, he found himself writing haiku verses on gender, indigenous ceremony, his cat, transitioning, changing his name, his crushes, grief, loss, and dating. throughout all of it, he realized that at the heart of every poem, is love. and when we find ourselves where we are now, with a growing climate crisis, with racism and hatred being emboldened through elections, with so much loss and pain, the only answer that smokii can see is choosing to love. and what's the best way to spread love? there are many great ways, of course, but for smokii, it's always been the love poem. he's written love poems to his car, to his mother's great great grandmother, to his partners, his friends, and his cat! and now he wants to help you spread the love! whether you are feeling sexy, asexy, (or maybe both!), aromantic, or into romance, whether you want to write a love poem to your favourite smoked meat sandwich, or vegan brownie, or to the land you were born from, or the ocean you haven't seen in years, or maybe you have a crush or wedding vows to write! whatever your pleasure, all are welcome to come share what you love, who you love, where you love, why you love, and when, on the page. (please bring a notebook and pen)

in preparation for orange shirt day, join us to make a beaded felt pin.

dates: thursday, september 26th

time: 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm

location: 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 agora

on september 30th wear an orange shirt in the spirit of reconciliation and to honour residential school survivors and all those impacted by residential schools. 

orange shirt day is a day set aside to honour residential school survivors and all those impacted by residential schools.  in the spirit of reconciliation, everyone is asked to wear an orange shirt on this day.

the idea for this day came from phyllis (jack) webstad’s story of having her new orange shirt taken away from her on her first day of residential school. 

today it’s an opportunity for communities to come together to re-affirm their commitment to reconciliation.
