A traditional medicines workshop was held at the Beatrice Wilson Health Centre on August the 22nd. Learning Circle Facilitator Shawn Yaremko says the workshop was very well attended with 20 participants that were eager to learn about traditional medicines.
The two elders that taught the workshop were John George and Lillian Sinclair and after the workshop there was a lot of positive comments from the participants saying they hope to learn more about traditional medicines in the future.
The goal was to teach people about traditional indigenous medicines that may not be used in everyday lives.
