This week, many of us were excited to celebrate the change of seasons from winter to spring.

Here, Bruce Krentz, Health Promotion Director with the Northern Health Region shares some information about the spring equinox.

“Spring equinox, in the Indigenous culture, spring is a time of rebirth and renewal. The teaching of elders tells us that the Spring Equinox is the understanding of balance, it’s the teaching of a natural world in which we live. It helps to create and take care of us in a spiritual way.”

The Northern Health Region invites the community to a pipe ceremony, smudging and feast today at 1 pm in the Thompson Cultural Room at the Thompson General Hospital.

Elder Isabelle Morris will lead the event.
