Lunch & Learn - No Fixed Address: The White Cart Memorial
Join us on August 11 at the Reynolds Museum for a screening of No Fixed Address: The White Cart Memorial, followed by a facilitated community discussion.
This powerful documentary explores an often-overlooked part of homelessness: the grief experienced after the death of a friend, family member, or community member while living without stable housing. Centred on Kelowna’s White Cart Memorial, the film brings together lived-experience stories, research, and community perspectives to examine what it means to grieve in public spaces—and how communities can respond with greater compassion, dignity, and care.
This free event starts at 10:30am and lunch will be provided.
Following the film, participants will have an opportunity to reflect, share perspectives, and discuss what these themes may mean for our own community.
Registration is required and spots are limited. You can register by emailing info@wetaskiwinfcss.com or calling 780-312-7533.
