Vancouver Island Regional Library鈥檚 Courtenay branch is getting set to host elders Pam Moore and Dianne MacLean as part of VIRL鈥檚 Indigenous Voices initiative. On Sunday, Jan. 28, from 2鈥�3 p.m., visit the Courtenay branch to hear about the elders鈥� stories, their work, and to share refreshments.

鈥淚ndigenous Voices is an important part of our commitment to reconciliation for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous members of our community,鈥� said VIRL鈥檚 executive director Rosemary Bonanno. 鈥淭he events being organized across our system are wonderful opportunities for people to learn from the lived experiences of the Elders, and to come away with a deeper understanding of Indigenous cultures, histories, and stories.鈥�

The event on Jan. 28 is the first of a series of programs by our Elders at the Comox Valley library branches. More details will be provided soon.
