The Gas Station Arts Centre, Sharing Circles held their last circle in November, 2023. They prepared a potluck featuring bannock that has been implemented into all the future physical circles. This is the first host location with bannock being brought in by CFR. It was made by Thelma, a Métis lady who also was at the National Indigenous Peoples Day Event. Sharing a meal in the spirit of reconciliation! Thank you, Gas Station Arts Centre Participants, Facilitators and the Host Location! We should mention that we are grateful to the host for providing free tickets to earlier comedy shows for our Facilitators and others who attended.  (photos by Janelle Sutherland, Circle Coordinator)
