Calendar

This winter season, you’re invited to join us for justice-focused Advent & Christmas. The Spiritual Care team has put together an Advent & Christmas Calendar, focused on Indigenous Housing Justice. Together, we’ll learn how racism, colonization, and housing systems in Vancouver/the unceded and ancestral lands of the Xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish Nation), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh) contribute to injustice and oppression, and what actions we can take to pursue justice.

The calendar runs from December 1 to January 5 and features daily actions that we can participate in alongside each other. This important work is part of our commitment to putting reconciliation into action and advocating for Indigenous Housing Justice.

Advent and Christmas Calendar 2024:

We hope you’ll join us in participating in these daily actions. Every Sunday from December 1 to January 5, Rev. Lauren Sanders, Indigenous Spiritual Care Chaplain (Prairie Band Potawatomi/mshkodeni bodéwadminwen, Kickapoo Nation of Kansas/kiikaapoa, African American/Black), will share a video relating to week’s Advent theme and the calendar’s calls to action.
