Many thanks in advance

Hello! I operate a BAS program in Arbour Lake and looking into offering a presentation to our group of kids. I came across your information from another program. We have 25 kids in Kindergarten to Grade 4 and would love to learn more and have you come into our program to share.

HI! I work at ATB and have heard great things about Cree8 expertise! I’m looking for some information on team building activities, drum circle, and cultural sensitivity event booking. I want to see what options are available to a group of 20 people and if we could aim for some time in June.

Good afternoon, We are hosting a leadership conference in the beautiful setting of Kananaskis. As part of the conference, we are looking to organize a teambuilding event on April 29th, either in the morning or afternoon, depending on availability. We are particularly excited about showcasing the incredible local culture to our attendees, especially those who might not have had the opportunity to experience it before. We believe that this will add a unique and enriching dimension to our conference, fostering a sense of community and connection among our leaders. Could you please provide us with some options for teambuilding activities that would highlight the local culture and be suitable for our group of 8. We are open to suggestions and look forward to hearing your ideas. Thank you for your assistance in making our leadership conference a memorable and impactful event.

Hello Chantal!


I am reaching out on behalf of Foothills Academy Society in Calgary. When I was working at River Valley School, you had presented a few times and it was SUCH a pleasure to participate!! I am looking to put on a French Winter Carnaval celebration and I was wondering if you would be interested in taking part with us. I was also wondering what type of presentation you feel would be best work with that?


MANY thanks in advance,

Catherine Stewart

Hi Chantel!

I am reaching out on behalf of the Sunalta Community Association. Every year we host a free stampede breakfast community event and we are looking to add more Indigenous cultural aspects to this event. Our event this year is on Saturday July 12th from 9:00am to 12:00pm.

I would love to connect with you to discuss what services of yours we could add to the event and discuss pricing, and of course, if you are available!


Looking forward to connecting,

Jennifer

Tansi. I am a teacher in Ponoka and am wondering if you travel that far to do sessions? If so, what size of a group would do a storytelling session for?

Hi Chantal! I am a student from MRU, and last month my class had the pleasure of receiving a presentation for you. I am now doing my practicum in a grade 2 classroom and was wondering what the potential of you coming in to speak about traditional medicines with them would look like. I feel that your way of teaching would really connect with these students.


Thank you,

Jess Nickel

Hello,

Hi Chantal – my name is Maureen & I’m the former principal of Dr. Gordon Higgins School. I am working at the area level now & have a group of teachers who have shown a desire for land based learnings about medicinal plants & learnings about drumming. Both of these topics are your specialty :) I am making an application for funding and am wondering what the cost would be to spend a 2 – 3 1/2 hour session with you? I do not have a date or time in mind, I’m just wanting to know if you would be interested in doing something like this so that I can apply for a grant. Thanks Chantal. I hope you are well. I always enjoy the times I spend with you. Maureen

Hi Chantal,


I was lucky enough to attend a session that you did where you shared your drums and explained where the different hand grips came from.

I’m excited to sign up for your August drum making opportunity. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🌻

I was wanting a quote for rattle making and a workshop on healing for approximately 75 people

Hi Chantal,

You came to Arbour Lake School last year and spent a few days creating different crafts, including dram catchers, with myself and the students. I am at a new school now (Sir Wilfrid Laurier) and I would really love if we could have you come in and do some work with them as well. We are open to a different offerings and since I had such a great experience with you last time I was hoping something could be worked out for the 2024-2025 school year.
