This past year, CIS students, staff, faculty and community members cultivated community through our CIS & Friends Crafting and Knitting Circle. We gathered monthly on Zoom to catch-up and create. From sewing projects, crochet, lace-making, embroidery to carpet-making, there was never a dull moment.

In June, Indigenous community members affiliated with UBC came together on Zoom for an impromptu Beading Night, organized in collaboration by AISA Peer Advisor, Sabrina Moshenko, and CIS Outreach and Engagement Specialist, Siera Stonechild. At the event, participants had the opportunity to learn how to make fringe beaded earrings. The Beading Night was such a success that it was extended as a bi-weekly program throughout the summer!

Check out some of our community members’ incredible creations! 
