Toronto just got designated spaces for Sacred Fire ceremonies at public parks Toronto
Created after engagement with Indigenous, Metis and Inuit residents of the city which identified a specific space to hold such ceremonies, each site comes with firewood, fire bowl, ash bin and chair.
Sites will also have designated signage asking residents to not take photos or videos when a ceremony is taking place. Sacred fires have been practiced since time immemorial by Indigenous Peoples across the nation and are used for many purposes including wellness, healing, gathering and mourning."The City recognizes the inherent rights of Indigenous Peoples to have access to Sacred Fires. With designated sites, the City aims to create safer access to land for ceremony, minimize interruptions to ceremony and continue to build relationships to meet the needs of Indigenous communities.
Certain types of ceremonies like ones used for the passing of a loved one may take priority if there are multiple bookings. You must bring your own fire keeper, medicines, lighters/matches and kindling."The creation of designated Sacred Fire sites is a step forwards in building stronger relationships with Indigenous community members and meeting their needs.
