Celebrating an Evening in Carolinian Canada
hosted by Our Medicine Walk | ononhkwa’shon:’a
at Ryerson United Church in Ancaster
265 Wilson St. East
Friday, May 27th
7:00pm
It has been estimated that more than 50% of the federally-listed species at risk occur in Ontario’s Carolinian Zone. Throughout this region, pressures from urban expansion, increased industrialization and intensified agricultural practices have caused extensive wildlife habitat destruction.
In parts of this zone, over 90% of the original forests are gone. Most of the remaining forests are too small and isolated to accommodate at-risk forest bird species and other species that depend on the specialized habitats found in larger forest tracts.
The Métis Women’s Circle in partnership with Ryerson United Church and Foundations Montessori School are hosting an information evening at 265 Wilson St. East in Ancaster on Friday, May 27th, 7pm, showcasing student art and their research on Carolinian species.
Funding from Government of Canada New Horizons for Seniors.

Our Medicine Walk, ononhkwa’shon:’a:
Youth, Community and the Healing Gifts of Plants
Our Medicine Walk: ononhkwa’shon:’a is a joint community venture of Ryerson United Church, Foundations Montessori School, Fieldcote Museum and the Métis Women’s Circle.
In the spring of 2021, a gathering place was created at Fieldcote Museum to explore indigenous species plants from the perspective of health and wellness. The plants will serve as our guides for intercultural learning.
Goals are:
- building social networks
- connecting with nature and recognizing the importance of biodiversity
- sharing traditional and Indigenous knowledge
