Took Part in a local event called Cobechenonk Shadow Canoe Show. You get to paddle down the Humber River while experiencing a shadow puppet show the group By Drawing With Knives Presented by Balance Bringers

We can tell you that our relationship to Cobechenonk (Humber River) goes much deeper than 150 years. We can telll you that the river has been an important waterway since time immemorial. That it continues to be a significant site for many Indigenous people. We can tell you many things about Cobechenonk, but actually, we’d rather invite you to board one of our canoes and experience it for yourself. Explore and share stories of the river and teachings about water, the animals, plants, and ancestors of the river past and present. Paddle a canoe with us as these stories are brought to life by shadow puppetry. Or if you prefer to stay on land, sit and share food, songs and stories from Elders and hand drummers. A fire will be lit. Presented by Eventual Ashes and the Balance Bringers Elders: Wanda Whitebird, Ma-Nee Chacaby, Blu Waters Directed by Gein Wong, Producer Erika Pulfer Shadow Puppetry By Drawing With Knives
