About

Kayak to Klemtu When a prominent Kitasoo/Xai’Xais activist passes away, his

14-year-old niece embarks on a kayak journey to take his ashes home to Klemtu.

It’s a race against the clock as she tries to make it back in time to give a speech

protesting a proposed pipeline that would cross Indigenous land.

The Town of Oakville, together with Indigenous community leaders, Oakville Public Library and partners, will be presenting outdoor films that explore our shared responsibility to care for the Earth. These films honour Indigenous culture and the contributions Indigenous people have made to preserve the land we live on today. Enjoy an evening of film and discussion about our shared journey towards Truth and Reconciliation.

This is a FREE ticketed event. Entry and activities begin at 6:30 p.m. Film presentation begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are required for all attendees through the Oakville Centre for Performing Arts at oakvillecentre.ca.

In the event of inclement weather, the screenings will be moved to Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre. Proof of vaccination status will be required to enter recreation and culture facilities as of September 22, 2021. Attendees must follow COVID-19 health and safety protocols, as required.
