When Kyrra Kematch burned part of her ribbon skirt at a sweat ceremony, she needed a quick solution. The 17-year-old had registered for the Matriarch Summit, a gathering of Indigenous women, girls, two-spirit and gender-diverse individuals, but couldn’t afford to purchase a new skirt.
“I didn’t want to wear it to the Matriarch Summit because it’s a really professional event,” Kematch said. “I found this lady on Facebook who was renting out her ribbon skirts to anyone who needed them, as long as you gave them back.”
JESSICA LEE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
Gosselin started making the skirts in March and now has a dozen to lend out.
That lady was Sasha Gosselin, who began lending her collection of handmade ribbon skirts to strangers in the last few months.
Kematch was pleasantly surprised by Gosselin’s kindness and generosity.
“She just hands them out and lets anyone wear them, anytime,” Kematch said. “That’s absolutely wonderful. I love what she’s doing.”
JESSICA LEE / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS
Retailing for prices between $100 and $400, the cost of ribbon skirts can be a significant barrier for some.
Gosselin, who is originally from Treaty 4, only recently began creating ribbon skirts. Originally, she picked up the sewing machine to reconnect with her culture from her dad’s side of the family, but it soon became a catalyst to help others connect, too.
“After wearing my first ribbon skirt and feeling that sense of connection to my culture and the pride of wearing it, I wanted to be able to share that,” Gosselin said. “I started making my own skirts and I decided that I would take a chance and put them out there completely free of charge so that other people would get to experience what I got to.”
At first, Gosselin began informally lending the skirts by spreading the word on different Facebook groups. Recently, she launched a Facebook page called kisêwâtisiwin (“kindness” in Cree) to display her collection.
Retailing between $100-400, the cost of ribbon skirts can be a significant barrier for some, Gosselin said. Amid the grad and powwow season, the ribbon skirt demand has been high for artisans such as April Tawipisim, who owns Winnipeg-based Turtle Woman Indigenous Wear.
“On average, we sell about 10 skirts per week, and there’s been a real high demand for ribbon skirts with grad,” Tawipisim said.
Ribbon skirts are worn during ceremonies to evoke pride and a spiritual connection to the earth. One of Gosselin’s favourite aspects of the process is attaching ribbon drops to the sides of the skirts, which she sees as the “whispering of them going up to Creator, having them long so they’re close to the ground and they touch the earth.
“Our ancestral women wore dresses from cotton skirts and then added ribbons and made it nice and fancy,” Tawipisim said. “As time went by and things evolved, the shorter skirts became more fashionable.”
In just a few months, Gosselin’s ribbon skirts have been worn to a host of special events, from high school graduations to sundance ceremonies. One woman even travelled an eight-hour drive from Norway House Cree Nation to pick up a custom-designed skirt for her graduation.
“You might wear them to any kind of thing where you want that powerful feeling behind you, whether that’s going to a grad ceremony (or) going to something where you’re receiving some type of honour,” Gosselin said. “Just being present and showing that we’re still here.”
Kematch is just one of many Indigenous women who have borrowed Gosselin’s skirts, but she remains touched by her act of kindness.
“The ribbon skirt is really important to me because it’s something I hold near and dear to my heart, and it makes me feel more empowered,” Kematch said. “Out of the kindness of her heart, and for being such a trusting woman, she has let people borrow her skirts and bring them back for events. I just think that’s absolutely beautiful.”
As grad season comes to a close, Gosselin is eager to share her wardrobe with anyone heading to ceremonies. Emulating its Cree namesake for kindness, Gosselin hopes kisêwâtisiwin will help others feel the pride of wearing the threads of one’s culture, regardless of financial situation.

Richardson Backcountry in Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo
“Photo provided by Ride North Moto”
Fort McMurray Wood Buffalo Economic Development & Tourism (FMWBEDT) has teamed up with Ride North Moto, to deliver their first-ever off-road motorcycle event to the area.
Together, they’re launching “Boreal Royale”, a dual-sport motorcycle adventure taking place June 24-26.
Tyler Cole, Sports & Events Economic Development Officer with FMWBEDT describes it as not being a race, but more of an opportunity to responsibly welcome the motorcycle community to the beautiful backcountry areas of Wood Buffalo.
The event includes four nights of camping at the motocross track and three days of competition that will see competitors use the WANDURO app to find waypoints and collect Quest Points.
The press release describes the event as being similar to geocaching, which is where individuals hunt for hidden objects by using GPS coordinates, but with motorcycles.
“We are working towards this event becoming a staple in the dual-sport and adventure sport motorcycling event calendar going forward,” explained Cole.
McMurray Dirt Riders Association and the WANDURO Adventure Moto Navigation events team from British Columbia will also be hosting Boreal Royale in partnership with the event.
Mike Haberoth, Founder of Ride North Moto says, “We are very excited to see the 1st Annual Boreal Royale come together and to share our passion for motorcycle sport with others in the community. Our local partners have been the key to helping us explore the region’s backcountry and inspiring us all to be proud of the place we call home.”
FMWBEDT stated in a press release that the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation has given permission to the group to allow competitors on their traditional territory in the Richardson backcountry north of Fort McMurray.
An introductory video for the event can be viewed at Boreal Royale – Teaser Video – YouTube.

London, United Kingdom–(Newsfile Corp. – May 11, 2022) – Democratizing sustainability, specifically in the form of electric vehicles is an easy sell to those in Silicon Valley, but for many who are economically disenfranchised-whether in the Bronx or Bangalore-the promise of EV ownership remains beyond their means. For them, there are several challenging speed bumps along the way to EV adoption, including vehicle sticker price and total cost of ownership (TCO). Only when the balance between price and performance has been solved will EV adoption be truly available to all.
Join this free webinar to discuss how to improve EV total cost of ownership.

The fair will be on April 30th from 10am-2pm.

Mayor Mike Kwas says the annual Ukrainian Dance will be taking place at the Canora Composite School.
The dance will take place tomorrow (Sun) at 2 p.m.

In late 2019, the owners of Mosaic Catering + Events began their due diligence on 3013 Cutshaw Ave. near West Broad Street.
Their plan was to convert the 9,500-square-foot Art Deco-style warehouse into an event space complete with a rooftop so that Mosaic could finally host its own events. The company, which also has a restaurant of the same name in the River Road Shopping Center, has only catered events at other venues since its founding in 1996.
In late 2020 Mosaic purchased the building for $2.1 million, giving it control of both that building and its headquarters across the street at 3001 Cutshaw Ave.
Steven Niketas, who co-owns Mosaic with Laurette Garlitz and Mike Holland, said the quotes they initially received on the building’s renovation were just shy of $1 million. After holding off on any construction, Niketas said these days they’re being quoted nearly three times that.
“And it’s the same set of plans, man. It’s the same (project),” he said.
Those increased construction costs have prompted the group to reconsider its plans. Earlier this month, Mosaic put the building back on the market for sale for an undisclosed amount. Thalhimer’s Connie Jordan Nielsen has the listing.
Niketas said the prospect of doing the same project for three times the cost that they initially forecasted made them feel like they needed to at least see what type of interest the building would get.

“I hate to say it, but at some point, (developing the event space) might be more than we want to do at our age. Two years ago I wasn’t so gun-shy, I was ready to do just about anything to grow the business. But I guess just like everybody else, I’m not sure I have the stamina I used to after the last two years,” Niketas said.
“What is the real expense of trying to expand? Do I really need another location?” he said. “I’m sure a lot of people are having the same conversations, not just the catering business.”
The building sits on a quarter of an acre and was most recently assessed by the city at $1.8 million. Prior to Mosaic acquiring it, the building was owned by Stony Point Design/Build, a Charlottesville development firm that intended to bring residential density to the site.
Niketas said his group is dead set on selling the building, and that Mosaic would be willing to go outside its comfort zone to see a project through on the site. Throughout its 26 years in business, Niketas said Mosaic never had any outside equity, management or business partners of any type, but now they’re open to the idea of working with an outside firm on the Cutshaw project.
“At this point, because of the way things have been the last couple years, I’m literally open to any conversations with anybody because it’s going to take a lot of creativity for people to grow their businesses effectively. It’s just gotten to such a crazy place, you have to be open to more things,” Niketas said.
“Just because I don’t want to build an apartment building, doesn’t mean that I can’t be a partner with an equity guy who wants a piece of prime real estate in a hot part of town,” he said.
Niketas is now based in Charleston, South Carolina, where he runs a location of the Giavos family restaurant group’s Stella’s concept. He said the heat of the Richmond real estate market was demonstrated to him with the recent sale of 5609 Patterson Ave., a 7,900-square-foot retail and office building he owned with Mary Kathryn Perkinson of MAK Financial Group.
Mosaic will continue operating its headquarters down the street, as well as its restaurant in the River Road Shopping Center near U of R.
The building in the Near West End sold last month for $2.8 million, nearly twice its most recent assessed value of $1.5 million.
“That was a big deal. It was a big light bulb,” Niketas said. “I’d never in a million years imagined that Patterson would trade at what it did.”
The Patterson building’s new owner is Stony Point Wealth Management, a local firm that’s unrelated to the Charlottesville development firm that previously owned the Cutshaw property.
This year, Niketas said, Mosaic has been swamped with catering requests and that the restaurant has been busier than ever. However, they’ve had issues filling out their staff.
That issue also contributed to their apprehension about taking on the Cutshaw project: Without a bigger staff, Niketas said hosting events at the new venue would require them to pull back on off-premise events and the revenue those bring.
“The replacement sales thing is the most dangerous part of developing the new venue. We don’t want to replace X number of sales off-site with X number on-site,” Niketas said.
“It has to be new money, it has to be new sales. Otherwise I’m $3 million down the road in development (costs) and in the same spot. This has been a really difficult box to figure my way out of,” he said.
As Mosaic mulls its options, many of the buildings adjacent to them are set to come down. Local developer Steve Leibovic is preparing to raze nearly all the buildings on the block bound by Cutshaw Avenue, Wayne, Sheppard and Grace streets to make way for a mixed-use project.
