Kevin Wesaquate is one of our distinguished guests

Kevin Wesaquate is one of our distinguished guests at tomorrow evening's NatureCity Conversation: Indigenous Food Sovereignty and Prairie Cities. In 2018, Kevin gathered folks of all ages to plant saskatoon berry bushes along the #meewasintrail as part of the Misaskwatomina project. In these photos from long-before Covid, Kevin (blue shirt) supports youth and others to plant these traditional food plants in public spaces. 271 people have registered so far for tomorrow's conversation about Indigenous Food Sovereignty in Prairie Cities. If you would like to join us, register via www.wildaboutsaskatoon.org/conversations to receive your event link.
