Patsy Day
One Indigenous Woman and the Arts
Indigenous women have a profound history as the keepers and communicators of cultural heritage through art.
Elder Patsy Day will share her stories of blending traditional artistic practices with community resilience, demonstrating how these skills have been passed down through generations to preserve identity, sustain livelihoods, and embody cultural teachings.
Her intricate beadwork serves as a tangible link to this enduring legacy and will be on display. Patsy’s extensive experience teaching in area schools invites discussion about the broader connections between art and cultural wisdom. Audience questions about other aspects of Indigenous arts will be warmly encouraged.

Meet the Women Candidates for the Municipal Election
CFUW’s support and promotion of women’s leadership is rooted in our history. Founded in 1919, CFUW existed before women were considered persons under Canadian law, and at a time when women were excluded and marginalized from business, politics, leadership, and many other areas of public life. While things have changed significantly, women are still under-represented in many leadership positions.
Political leadership needs to truly reflect our population, and it is now more critical than ever to support our women candidates in these challenging times. We look forward to seeing you at the panel – please bring your questions for the candidates!

We acknowledge that we are on the traditional territory of the Neutral (Attiwondeonk), Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples. the territory is governed by two Treaties. The first is the Dish With One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant of 1701, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy and the Ojibwe and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes. The second is the Huron Tract Treaty of 1827, an agreement made between eighteen Anishinabek Chiefs and the Canada Company. The responsibility to share and care for this territory extends to all of us for generations to come.
