Be sure to stop at the Unity Project at Kaleido this year!

UNITY is a circular arrangement of 32 poles. Each pole is labelled with an Indigenous focused identifier. With yarn, participants tie to each pole with which they identify. A canopy of interconnectedness forms as more people participate. In the end, we see that we are all connected by something.

A special thank you to Rotary Club of Edmonton Northeast for sponsoring this incredible Kaleido Feature.
