Annual Women’s Gathering 2026

On July 10 and 11, 2026, the Agency’s Annual Women's Gathering brought 651 women together across two days focused on culture, entertainment, self-care, and of course lots of laughter.

The gathering started with a traditional opening drum song and prayer, followed by welcoming remarks by the Board of Directors and Executive Director Clemene Hornbrook. Members were inspired by a presentation from Chickadee Richard, before enjoying songs by Fawn and Tia Wood whose performance caused Members to break out into a round dance.

Throughout the day Members took part in traditional games, bingo, vendors, hair and nail technicians, and even had the chance to get a tattoo by Jenna Mallet. The evening concluded with a musical performance by Teri-Ann Strongarm followed by a high energy concert from Truly Tina, a Tina Turner impersonator.

Day two of the gathering began with a presentation by Tania Ross, who shared her difficult life journey and road to healing. The Gathering continued with Peguis’ very own Allysa Sutherland, the owner of Ally's Ribbons, who held a fashion show with local models to showcase her Japan collection. Community speakers and Tonia-Jo Hall presented to the crowd to end the afternoon followed by a supper.

Thank you to all the special guests, entertainers, vendors and Members for attending another amazing Women’s Gathering.
