This will be a Hybrid Event

A presentation by our own Candy-Lea Chickite “Here Comes The Brides,” showcases the investigation into a First Nations “community wedding celebration” where 7 couples all married at the same time in 1919. The First Nations minister became quite well-known and maintained a constant presence with the people of the village for decades after. Official accounts by the Indian Agent and a local police constable help to bring the day to life over a hundred years later. The presentation also includes random weddings in the Cape Mudge United Church where articles on the nuptials made their way into the newspapers and outlines how these write-ups can help identify the wedding party members, and more.

The public is welcome!
