Anna Bigland-Pritchard is a vocal artist, pedagogue, arts administrator, and expressive arts therapy student. As a music director, Anna is passionate about empowering collaborative creation for both healing and positive social change. Sabrina Di Matteo has been involved in the Catholic Church since her youth, and currently works with religious congregations at the Canadian Religious Conference in support of their mission and social and climate justice networks.

Join us on Earth Day to celebrate the 1st anniversary of For the Love of Creation and discern our gifts for climate action in community.

In preparation, please take a moment to reflect on your place in Creation. Step outside and take a photograph of your hands or feet on the Earth (toes in the mud, feet in a river, hands on a tree, arms around an animal) in a place where you feel connected with Creation.

Post your photo to social media with this caption: “The path to climate justice begins with the places we love. #ForTheLoveOfCreation #EarthDay2021” 

(please be sure to include the hashtags and email your photo to flc.pac@gmail.com).

In advance of Earth Day, we will hear from organic farmer, biblical scholar, teacher, and author Sylvia Keesmaat. Sylvia will discuss Recovering our Roots in the Community of Creation. She asks, “What if radical hope and radical resistance meant recovering the deep relationality of Creator and creation? What if such resistance re-placed us in our true story – a story of healing that flows through God, creation, and ourselves?”

Karri Munn-Venn of CPJ will respond, linking us to events and actions from the For the Love of Creation Faith-in-Action campaign.

Tickets: $16.95

Come join the Blue Scarf Movement to learn and motivate action for the Innu People of Labrador in Eastern Canada, and motivate stopping the new Fighter Jets being purchased by our government.

This event will feature readings from two books, Nutaui’s Cap which depicts a child's coming to understand the situation and how her family stands up; and I Keep the Land Alive, of a journey to stop NATO’s low-level flying and bomb testing during the 80’s and 90’s. Speakers include author Elizabeth Penashue, Tamara Lorincz, and motivational live DJ Performance brought to you by SheCycle and DJ Kiish. Learn More...
