We will hear from Moderator Carmen Lansdowne in a keynote address on Friday, July 28. Other program elements include panel and audience discussions of the national drug use and suicide crisis, missing children and unmarked burial sites, the remit removing barriers from the formation of the new Indigenous Church, and business from the five Circles of the Indigenous Church.

In addition, new members of the National Indigenous Elders Council and the new National Indigenous Council will be installed. There will be celebrations of students and those ordained/commissioned in last four years, as well as a memorial to those who have passed on to the Spirit World since 2019.
