MEDIA RELEASE
Dedication ceremony for Indigenous healing garden at Colchester East Hants Health Centre
Monday, Oct. 24, 2022
On Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022, a dedication ceremony will be held for the Indigenous healing garden at Colchester East Hants Health Centre in Truro beginning at 1:00 p.m., with people gathering at 12:30 p.m. in tents set up in the parking area adjacent to the hospital. Following the dedication ceremony, small group visits to the garden will be offered.
This is the first Indigenous healing garden of its kind within a hospital in Atlantic Canada. The initiative is the culmination of a partnership between the family of John C. Gloade of Millbrook First Nation and Colchester East Hants Health Central to transform the hospital’s healing garden into a memorial Indigenous healing garden. The ceremony will honour the life of Sheila Rose Gloade and dedicate the garden in her memory as a place within the hospital where patients, their families, and staff can find peace and tranquility.
The Indigenous health garden now contains traditional Indigenous symbols of healing that have been part of the Mi’kmaq culture for many centuries. The space is available to all clients of the hospital and provides a place for prayer and traditional Mi’kmaq ceremonies related to healing.
Please note:
o Public parking is available in front of Colchester East Hants Health Centre.
o Masks will be required when moving through the hospital to reach the garden.
Please contact our media relations team if you plan to attend or if you have questions about the event at NSHAmedia@nshealth.ca.
