THIS SEPTEMBER...

Join us at the Hill Pavilion in Belleville, ON for Our Peace Festival — a signature outdoor “edu-tainment” experience rooted in truth, creativity, and collective healing. This gathering brings together Black, Indigenous, People of Colour, and White ally artists, innovators, educators, wellness advocates, and community leaders to co-create a vibrant space for learning, connection, and action.

We stand in solidarity with #EveryChildMatters and the #RedDressAlert, honouring the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous and Melanated Peoples.

With a unique zoom-in and zoom-out approach, we invite our community to move beyond fear and toward reconciliation — through relationship repair, curiosity, and humble confidence. Together, we believe true peace and freedom are possible.

The work we do at Our Peace Festival supports local school boards and educators in approaching #OrangeShirtDay and other equity initiatives with deeper care, competence, and courage.

Mark your calendar. & Stay tuned.
