An ally workshop at the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum (EAGM) on Monday night attracted about 30 people for discussions on how to build better and more inclusive communities.
The workshop showcased Zoey Roy, who has worked with Indigenous issues for a long time, Roy uses her workshops to raise awareness about challenges facing Indigenous people.
The event was catered, as it began with a meal and the workshop followed afterwards. There was also a discussion before the meal, and further talks after supper.
鈥淚 think having Zoey come out is really important if you want to present yourself as an ally to the community,鈥� said Amber Andersen, the curator and director of the Estevan Art Gallery and Museum.
鈥淚 think this going to be a great presentation on how to deal with some concepts of racism and I think it will be a great eye opener for everyone,鈥� she added.
The event had a lot of people from the community in attendance, and there were people from all over the province.
Roy has been a long advocate for efforts to stop racism. She is M茅tis and her stop in Estevan was aimed at creating dialogue and educating attendees about issues surrounding racism and Indigenous people.聽
