ONWA's 50th Annual General Assembly - Best Western Plus Norwester Hotel
It’s been over 2 years since the last time I got the chance to attend and photograph ONWA's 50th Annual General Assembly. It’s such a great event and one that is filled with so many special moments.

From the election to the breakout rooms to all the interviews I was able to do, it was a packed a weekend. A new President and Vice President were appointed too, which was very exciting.
The highlight of the weekend was definitely the Sunday, where everyone made the trip out to out to the School of Indigenous Learning. It was a first for most people attending the conference, and I could tell that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
ONWA’s 48th Annual General Assembly & Leadership Conference
ONWA held their 48th Annual AGA Conference this past October and I was tasked to capture the entire event. It was a lot of work but I absolutely enjoyed the entire experience. The last one I photographed last year was actually in Toronto. So it was nice to be able to stay in town for this one. Although, I do enjoy going to Toronto any chance I can. Not only did I take photographs, but I also did a lot of video too.

We did 19 interviews which I am very much looking forward to eventually releasing. Along with that, I grabbed some overall highlights from the event too. These included the Grassy Narrows Drum Group, the ONWA Drum Group, the official release of the She is Wise Magazine, which was a historic moment. Of course there were various workshops, vendors, a paint night and also a blanket healing activity on the final day. I still can’t believe how fast the 3 days went by. Stay tuned to my website as I will eventually be releasing the videos.
