Organizer: Cheryl Smith (Event Director)

TIMING MAY CHANGE AND DETAILS WILL BE ADDED SHORTLY.

Come experience our new map of Asitu’lisk! Through a partnership with Ulnooweg, these beautiful woods were mapped by ONS and we are ready for our inaugural event, including a cultural experience AND of course, orienteering.

Asitu’lisk (ah-see-dew-lisk ) means That Which Gives You Balance. It is an enchanting natural landscape consisting of the ancient Forest Wapane’kati and its riparian zone on the shores of Atuomkuk (Wentzell) Lake and the Pijnuiskaq (LaHave) River. It is a place where the ancestors of the Mi’kmaq flourished for thousands of years in Sin So’sepe’katik (Bridgewater), in Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia). In the care of Ulnooweg Education Centre, Asitu’lisk is a place for the Indigenous peoples of Atlantic Canada to welcome all who wish to come and learn about culture, language, ecology, health, ceremony, and science. Asitu’lisk is a place to to connect the generations, and a place to heal and grow for all peoples.
