About
Mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation by joining us for jigging and conversation with renowned jigging champion, Courtney Anaquod.
Courtney-Dawn Anaquod hails from Muscowpetung Saulteaux First Nation (Fort Qu’Appelle) and currently resides in Saskatoon. She is one of Saskatchewan’s renowned jigging champions, a youth mentor, a jigging instructor, and the founder of the Qu’Appelle Valley Dancers. Courtney-Dawn is the granddaughter of the late fiddling champion Morris Anaquod, jigging champion Theresa Anaquod, and the great-granddaughter of the late Joe Amyotte. Courtney is a self-taught jigger whose inspiration comes from her grandparents. She continues to carry on the Anaquod legacy, sharing her talents with the youth across Saskatchewan and northern Saskatchewan.
This event has been created to foster connection through dance and conversation in a community space. We hope to see you there!

RiSE UP Community Advisory Foundation
The RiSE UP Foundation aims to empower women in rural Nipawin Saskatchewan to rise up and achieve balance in work and life through community connections.
We create a safe space for cultural exchange and learning, for women to find common ground, and build community connections regardless of her status or position.
The RiSE UP events are FREE, sponsored by the RiSE UP Community Advisory Foundation. Local sponsorship, charitable grants, and Business Consulting are the funding backbone of the Foundation.
Our aim is to ensure access to "great food, equitable opportunities, a sense of belonging, and topics that are proven to help women thrive" no matter her challenge, status, or position.
