The Slave Lake Native Friendship Centre will be hosting the Poundmaker’s Lodge Treatment Centre’s Round Dance on January 20 to celebrate the Grand Opening of the Men’s Recovery home in Slave Lake AB.
CFWE spoke with Barbara Courtorielle, executive director of the Slave Lake Native Friendship Centre about her excitement of the round dance and working with Poundmaker’s to help put on the event within the community.
Courtorielle says that it’s been a long time since a Round Dance has been held within Slave Lake’s Friendship Centre, with it’s return having meaning for both community members and the elders that will be traveling to attend for healing.
With the Round Dance comes the celebration of the grand opening of the Men’s treatment Centre in Slave Lake, Courtorielle adds that it’ll be good for those who need the services in their journey towards recovery.
