Our program will run from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. You can join the meeting starting at 10:45 am for our open social.

September 30th is our National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. So, Toronto Oasis will be focusing on related topics throughout this month.

This Sunday, our featured speaker will be Tim Mt. Pleasant. Tim has been working on some articles about the Indian Residential School System, set to be published sometime this month in partnership with the Canadian Encyclopedia, Woodland Cultural Centre and Survivors Secretariat for Truth and Reconciliation Month.

Tim Mt. Pleasant, a regular Toronto Oasis participant, is a member of the Tuscarora Nation at Six Nations of the Grand River First Nation. Tim graduated with distinction from Ryerson University's Honours Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy program in 2021. He recently participated in postgraduate research training at McGill University, where he served on the Advisory Council on Human Research Ethics and the Research Ethics Board.

We will also be having live music! Our featured musician will be Wesley Blondin-Doan, whose stage name is Kid Grit. You can check out his music here: https://soundcloud.com/kidgrit.

Kid Grit's folk songs are quiet and pensive reflections of a life lived. From the depths of isolation possible in a digital age, to the heights of exaltation, living and growing up in nature. His music travels through the processes of life and how we heal, through gentle whisperings, swelling warm harmonies, and sometimes painful personal admissions - attempting to find peace and truth in the smallest of things.

By participating in this event, you agree to abide by the Toronto Oasis Code of Conduct (http://torontooasis.org/code-of-conduct).

Looking forward to seeing familiar faces and perhaps some new ones!
