ENAGB Cultural Festival & Competition Pow Wow May 23-24 in Woodbine Park.
While this event is advertised as ‘a welcoming, inclusive event for all ages – everyone is encouraged to attend and learn,’ settlers (white attendees) are reminded to enter the space with respect, humility, and an awareness that they are guests in an Indigenous space.
Festival performances headlined by Snotty Nose Rez Kids & Aysanabee.
Watch Aysanabee perform as part of the 2023 Juno Awards with Northern Cree!
Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund
Our Story
Inspired by Chanie’s story and Gord’s call to build a better Canada, the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF) aims to build cultural understanding and create a path toward reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Our goal is to improve the lives of Indigenous people by building awareness, education, and connections between all peoples in Canada.

Places We’ve Lived: Land, Story, and Spirit
A Monthly Storytelling & Land Acknowledgement Series
Starting Fall 2025, Places We’ve Lived invites ESG congregants to share 3–5 minute reflections on places they’ve lived or loved- acknowledging the Indigenous Peoples of those lands and sharing personal stories of learning, change, and connection.
This initiative is part of ESG’s commitment to reconciliation, radical
inclusion, and vibrant spirituality. It’s about truth-telling, not
comfort- honouring Indigenous stories and the lands that shape us. Reflections will be shared monthly during worship, and optionally online. Support and coaching will be available.
