The DCCRC (Dufferin County Cultural Resource Circle) will recognize this year’s National Indigenous Peoples Day with a virtual education celebration to be held at the DCCRC Healing Garden on Saturday, June 19
th beginning at 2pm.
This virtual celebration will be featured on Facebook Live as shown on the DCCRC’s Facebook page; facebook.com/DufferinCircle.
The intent of the virtual education celebration will be to provide an understanding of local and regional Indigenous ancestries through the history of the Land Acknowledgement as well as a tour of the Healing Garden located at the Alder Recreation Complex in Orangeville.
The Healing Garden represents the students’ commitment to reconciliation and healing through educating others about the Medicine Wheel. Student Nia Cleasby applied for various grants on behalf of the class, and received two grants, one from Eco-Friendly Sask ($500) and the Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation ($500). The grant money was used to purchase plants, cedar chips, a bench, two planters, and materials for a sign. The Healing Garden will continue to evolve and will be an outdoor classroom where students and the community can learn more about the teachings of the Medicine Wheel, and continue together on their journey of reconciliation and healing.
Montacute
Montacute House is an Elizabethan Renaissance gem, and makes a stunning backdrop to the graceful gardens around it. Here, fine lawns are surrounded by neatly-trimmed yews, while a sunken lawn is backed by pavilions and walls with balustrades and pinnacles. Also, Montacute s tree-lined West Drive can be seen in Sense and Sensibility (1995), which was partially filmed here (find some more of Somerset s famous film locations here). Visitors can have a meal or snack at the courtyard café, or pick up a gift in the shop.
