SUMMARY:Illuminate Peer-to-Peer: Raising Indigenous Voices
DESCRIPTION:Illuminate Peer-to-Peer: Raising Indigenous Voices\nSpeaker: Sheyanne Levall-Crouse\, Event Partnership Specialist\, Indigenous Relations\, Great Outdoor Comedy Festival \nDiscover the work the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival does to include First Nation\, Métis and Inuit Communities. Learn about Indigenous relations and find out how to help raise Indigenous Voices in a good way! We are excited that this event aligns with National Indigenous Peoples’ Day. \nRegister to attend\nTo attend\, register on Zoom. After registering\, you will receive a confirmation email with a link for the session. \n************* \nAbout Sheyanne Levall-Crouse\nSheyanne is a proud Métis woman\, who was born in Edmonton and grew up on a farm North of the city. After high school\, she moved to the suburb St. Albert\, where she went on to pursue radio broadcast. After she graduated\, she continued her post secondary with Business Administration at NAIT. \nHer career took a turn in the hospitality industry\, where she ended up in management. During her time in hospitality\, she was passionate about creating experiences for guests and helping host fundraisers for local groups and organizations. After 15 years in hospitality and many late nights\, she decided to take her career in a new direction. Sheyanne entered the non-profit world where she could continue to fundraise and support the important work of Canadian Blood Services\, STARS\, and several service clubs. During this time\, she also started a champion event for the Bryan Mudryk Golf Classic\, called Bryan’s Angels. Over seven years\, Bryan’s Angels raised $370\,000 for the Alberta Cancer Foundation\, helping bring the Bryan Mudryk Golf Classic’s total fundraising to 1.8 million dollars over 15 years. Over the last 15 years\, Sheyanne had her own consulting company to help with fundraisers and events. This includes her work with Trixstar Production\, the parent company of the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival. \nSheyanne’s Great-Grandmother was a residential school survivor. There was great shame around what her Great-Grandmother experienced in the residential school and the intergenerational trauma that came with it. Through Sheyanne’s own negative experiences as a child\, she learned it was easier not to tell people she was Métis or Indigenous. It was not until she was in her 30s that she wanted to know more about her family history and better understand who she was. The journey to understand who she was has also helped Sheyanne understand the impact that intergenerational trauma has had on First Nation\, Métis and Inuit families and the importance of sharing the truth. She has recognized that when you elevate an Indigenous voice\, you help create healing for that individual\, their ancestors and their community. \nIn the spring of 2021\, Alberta shared a proposed curriculum draft for schools. Sheyanne’s daughter would be entering Kindergarten that fall\, and she felt the proposed curriculum draft did not properly reflect Canada’s Indigenous history. Wanting to do better for her daughter and all Indigenous students\, Sheyanne decided to run as a public school trustee. She was elected as a Trustee and she strongly advocates for equity in education for all students. This includes decolonizing education\, Indigenizing classrooms\, and ensuring schools have safe\, caring and welcoming spaces for all students\, including Indigenous\, 2SLGBTQIA+\, marginalized\, and inclusive education students. \nSheyanne’s role with Trixstar Production\, Indigenous Relations and Event Specialist\, has been an honour. She works to include First Nation\, Métis\, and Inuit communities in each city where the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival is held. This includes building relationships and trust\, extending invitations and hosting First Nation\, Métis\, and Inuit communities at the Great Outdoors Comedy Festival\, following protocol\, the Welcoming Address\, supporting communities through GOCF’s Community Fund\, and providing honorariums.

SUMMARY:Regional Meeting for Presenters-South East Region
DESCRIPTION:BC Live is hosting a regional meeting for presenters in the South East Region. The meeting allows presenters to network\, discuss hot topics\, and learn more about BC Live’s programs. \nRSVP here for the Regional Meeting. \n\nTour of Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre\nDate: Thursday\, May 29\, 2025\nTime: 10:00 am  \n\nLocation: Revelstoke Performing Arts Centre at 1007 Vernon Avenue\, Revelstoke\n\n \nRegional Meeting\nDate: Thursday\, May 29\, 2025\nTime: 11:00 am to 2:00 pm PT\nLocation: NEW Meeting location: Upstairs Visitor Centre\, 301 Victoria Rd W\, Revelstoke\, BC V0E 2S0\nLunch will be provided. Please include any dietary restrictions/allergies in the form.\n\nOptional Workshop: Your Syilx Sisters – Communication Workshop (PDF)\nDate: Wednesday\, May 28\, 2025\nTime: 12-4pm\nLocation: Selkirk Room\, Regent Hotel\, 112 1 St E\, Revelstoke\, BC V0E 2S0\nDescription: q’sapi Training: Culturally Aware & Trauma Informed Training \nOften a pre-requisite for working with Your syilx Sisters\, this training acts a baseline for understanding how trauma-informed and culturally sensitive communications go to benefit authentic kinship-building practices with those you serve. The q’sapi training was developed from the law of story. ‘q’sapi\,’ is how syilx people start their old stories\, it means “a long time ago”. The intention of the workshop is to honour Indigenous voices and reduce the harm caused by perpetuating harmful narratives and misrepresentations. Often it’s because of the lack of understanding that comes from not knowing the protocols around meaningful communications\, accurate and authentic imagery\, or not understanding cultural terms of engagement. This workshop is built to engage communicators\, storytellers\, digital designers\, frontline workers who work within communities or with Indigenous Peoples\, media relations\, government officials\, government workers\, or anyone interested in learning more about protocols and Indigenous teachings that support positive connections.\nArt Alleries Tour\nDate: Wednesday\, May 28\, 2025\nTime: 6pm\nLocation: Meeting place\, Regent Hotel Lobby\, Regent Hotel\, 112 1 St E\, Revelstoke\, BC V0E 2S0\n \nGroup Dinner\nDate: Wednesday\, May 28\, 2025\nTime: 7pm\nLocation: Old School Eatery\,   616 3 St W\, Revelstoke\, BC V0E 2S1 \n\nGroup Rate Hotel options for the night of Tuesday\, May 28 (option to add extra nights if you want): \nRegent Hotel (Downtown)\nDowntown Address:  112 1 St. East\, Revelstoke\nCall: (250) 837-2107 | Email: info@regenthotel.ca\nRates: King: $199.99\nQuote Code: 2505BCLIVE\n\n  \nVRGE (20 minute walk to downtown)\nHighway Address: 1500 1 St. West\, Revelstoke\nCall: (236) 577-2018\nRate: $109 for King rooms.
