Normally BATC hosts Treaty Day and a Powwow outside the Dekker Centre for Indigenous Day. But it has not been able to do that since 2019 due to the pandemic restrictions. So the organization is having virtual activities until times return to normal.
BATC is also having weekly virtual events this month focusing on a series of health related topics, including work life, wellness, looking after oneself spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. Family life week, which is on now, will be followed by a week to celebrate pride and/or culture.
