The Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia commissioned five Indigenous artists from New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia to produce rug hooking designs that honour the Indigenous children who suffered and died in Residential Schools and to honour the survivors who were taken from their families and culture. These mats have been offered by the artists and the guild with love and respect, in hopes to raise awareness for this issue as a path moving forward towards reconciliation and healing. The Opening Ceremony for the exhibit will be held on Saturday, March 4 from 2-4pm. Opening words will be given by Elder Debbie Eisan and members of the Rug Hooking Guild of Nova Scotia will be present to answer questions. A guestbook is available at the second floor information desk, where comments of solidarity may be left. All ages are welcome. The exhibit will be housed on the second floor of the library.
