We’re back for Part 2! Join us and our facilitator & community storyteller Gus Gusul once again in a shared space of stories, reflection, and connection. This workshop invites youth and elders to listen, share, and honour the experiences that continue to shape our community.

📅 March 28th | 4:30 - 7:30pm (Saturday)
📍The Green Room, IslamicFamily Hüb

RSVP now!

Join us for îbutze îciyabi (to make yourself thirsty), the final event in the Interdisciplinary Dialogue Project 2026: Food Matters series. This event brings Indigenous and Muslim perspectives into conversation around fasting—as an intentional practice, a form of care and discipline, and a necessary reality for many.

Together, we will reflect on how fasting connects mind and body, heart and spirit; strengthens community and responsibility; and highlights the interconnectedness of nourishment, belonging, and justice.

The evening concludes with an Iftar supper.

A collaboration with kihêw waciston, IslamicFamily, the Mosquers, and the Muslim Student Organization at MacEwan.

Stories carry memory, values, and belonging; and they grow stronger when shared across generations 🤍

Join us for an Intergenerational Storytelling Workshop, a space where youth and elders come together to listen deeply, reflect openly, and connect meaningfully. Through shared storytelling, we’ll explore memories, identity, and the experiences that shape our families and communities.

Playfulness here isn’t about being silly, it’s about easing into curiosity, openness, and trust, so stories can be shared with care and intention.

🗓 Saturday, Feb 14
⏰ 6:00–9:00 PM
📍 The Green Room, Islamic Family

All are welcome. Come to share, come to listen, come as you are. 🌱🎤

UPDATE 24/12/2025: Please note that this event has been postponed. This decision was made to ensure the best possible experience for all involved. We will be sharing further details and a new date soon. We appreciate your patience and understanding.​

What: Join us this month for an unforgettable outdoor event. We’re hitting the river again, and this time, we’re starting on foot.

Kick things off with a guided Talking Rock Indigenous walking tour through Edmonton’s River Valley. Led by Métis geologist Keith Diakiw, this 1.5-hour walk blends stories, ceremony, and wild history from the land we call home.

Then hop into a raft for a 12.5 km chill cruise through the heart of the city, under nine bridges, with river guides sharing cool facts and fun vibes the whole way.

When: Sunday June 29th, 8:45 PM - 2:00 PM.

Who: This event is only available to those over 16 and under 35 years of age.

Where: Our meeting location and parking for all guests is at Dawson Park (10298 89 St NW, Edmonton, AB T5Z 0E7).

Carpool when possible as parking can be hard to find at times.

Important Notes:

Level of Difficulty: Fairly easy, with minor elevation gain. Most trails are paved and suitable for a relaxed-paced walk.

Do I need rafting experience?

Good news, no experience is required!

How much physical activity is involved?

This activity may present challenges for individuals with mobility concerns.

While the skilled river guide navigates the raft, passenger participation and paddling power is crucial, requiring some paddling.

Where are the washrooms?

For your convenience, there are various public washroom facilities along the journey:

You’ll find the first public washroom at the meeting points where you board the shuttle.

During the midpoint stop in the float, washrooms are also available nearby.

As you wrap up your adventure, back where you parked, public washrooms will still be accessible.

What do we need to bring?

It’s summer in Edmonton, and anything can happen! Please dress for the weather and bring warm or cool clothes, a hat, sunscreen and plenty of water.

During this trip TheGreenRoom will provide snacks and food for the duration of the trip.

RiverWatch provides all other safety equipment, such as first aid kits, PFDs and rain jackets.
