Wellesley Institute’s Participation in the St. James Town Festival (With Pictures!)

The St. James Town Festival (Saturday, June 5th) was a huge hit, with hundreds of visitors and great representation from community groups and politicians alike.  Wellesley Institute’s very own St. James Town Initiative held a booth at the festival alongside the St. James Town Resident Action Group.  The day was hot and sunny and filled with festive food and music.  At our booth, we painted faces, held a raffle and we had lots of fun with our friends, the residents of St. James Town.

Below are some of the pictures we took at the event.

Acknowledgement of Traditional Land

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
