Reconnection Along the Water with Jennifer Mierau
6-7:30pm, Yukon University Pumphouse Pond“As in nature, energy must be protected and used efficiently. This includes our own energy, where we must recharge when we are depleted” (Reconnection Vision, 2023, pg 67). During this evening, we will share our connection with the Land, self, and each other through a mindful walk by the Water led by Jennifer Mireau, an alumni of the Yukon First Nation Climate Action Fellowship. Jennifer will guide us through practices that draw on the teachings of the Reconnection Vision during this gentle walk by the Water. Attendees will be invited to bring their whole selves to this evening and embody practices that reconnect us to the Land and the wider web of our relationships to one another.

Habitat and History Refresh
6pm-7:30pm, Dàmäwtän (The Point) Parking LotDàmäwtän (The Point) is where Chasàn Chùa meets the Yukon River; an area deeply shaped by its past as a municipal landfill from the 1940s to the 1970s, which displaced local First Nations and left lasting environmental harm. Help make Chasàn Chùa a cleaner, healthier place for everyone. Join us for a hands-on evening led by CPAWS Yukon’s Paula Gomez Villalba picking up litter, learning how to identify and remove invasive plants, and chatting about stories from the area.
