Smudging Notification: Smudging is an Indigenous tradition, which involves the burning of sweetgrass, sage and/or cedar. Sage and cedar smudges produce a very strong and distinct aroma but the smoke associated with them are minimal and last a very short time. A smudge is burned primarily for purification and to help create a positive mindset. Community Learning Network (CLN) is notifying all individuals who have sensitivities to scents or smoke, that smudging may cause reactions. This notification is within the Scent Free Environment standards that CLN upholds.

Presenters:

Kelly Schram, Georgina Supernault & Dave Matilpi
