It’s a chance to meet Ojibwe spirit horses.
But a rainy forecast means it won’t happen this weekend.
Indigenous educator Kristen Dennis was a special guest at Wildwood Conservation Area on Saturday.
Inclement weather means it will have to happen another day.
Dennis will share the story of the Aspens Ojibwe Horses, a rare and endangered species native to Canada.
Two Ojibwe horses and their caregivers will also be on hand on Saturday for the event, which starts at 10 a.m.
Dennis will talk about the resurgence of a nearly lost breed.
The educator is a knowledge carrier and brings insights into Indigenous traditions and teachings.
Emily Chandler, with the Upper Thames River Conservation Authority, said it’s a special opportunity to meet and learn about some amazing animals.
“At the end people get to meet and greet with the horses. To see kids and adults interact with these spirit horses is pretty amazing.”
Dennis educates others about Indigenous studies and fosters understanding through various programs and ceremonies.
Stratford Legion Branch 8 is hosting a yard and bake sale from 8 a.m. to 12:30 at their Ontario Street location, just behind A&W. Food is available and proceeds will support the local branch.
On Saturday night, a costume paddle is being held in St. Marys as part of Light up the Night Kayaking.
The critically-acclaimed artist has released more than a dozen albums, collaborated with other artists and has penned a book.
His newly-released album is entitled The Vivian Line.
Tickets are still available for the Stratford resident’s performance slated for 7:30 p.m. at the Tom Patterson Theatre.
