The Oaks Grand Opening Celebration, September 23rd and 24th
There will be a two-day celebration to mark the opening of the city’s newest affordable housing project, on Friday September 23rd and Saturday the 24th. The Oaks, at 225 East Avenue North, has 108 units of affordable housing, including 13 operated by Sacajawea Non-Profit Housing in the building called Ain-dah-ning (pronounced AH-da-ning). The name, chosen by Sacajawea, means “home within our hearts” in Ojibwe.
There is a ribbon cutting at 3:30 on the Friday, following by a drumming ceremony at 4:30 and a barbecue, live music and tours at 5.
Saturday evening, at 7:30, there is a free concert featuring Juno-winning singer-songwriter iskwē, a Cree Metis performer currently living in Hamilton. She’s well worth catching in a live performance.
