Nk’Mip Cellars is once again hosting its 3rd Annual Fundraiser in support of the Indian Residential School Survivor Society (IRSSS), bringing together community, culture, and compassion for a meaningful evening on Saturday, Sept. 27.
This year’s event will feature a special performance by acclaimed Indigenous artist Hayley Wallis, whose soulful voice and powerful storytelling promise to inspire and uplift.
