TRW2025 KAIROS Blanket Exercise

A Kairos Blanket Exercise will be open for anyone to participate in on Tuesday, September 30th, starting at 2:30PM. The exercise will be coordinated by Knowledge Keeper Susie McPherson-Derendy with help from Debby Dandy.

This activity is recommended for everyone and suitable for younger ages.

Following the exercise, volunteers will be available for those that need healing and rest.

"The KAIROS Blanket Exercise (KBE) is a tool developed in 1997 by KAIROS: Canadian Ecumenical Justice Initiatives in which participants learn about European colonization of Turtle Island (North America), the accompanying dispossession of Indigenous peoples (reflected by the steady removal of blankets upon which participants stand) and Indigenous resistance and efforts to reclaim land and rights."
