Tansi,

In recognition of those who walked this land before us and are here today we want to pay respect to the sacred land and people of Treaty 6. We offer our appreciation to the Cree, Dene, Nakota Sioux, Saulteaux, and Métis peoples who have nurtured this space for countless generations. Their connection to this territory is a testament to the enduring beauty, knowledge, and love embedded in their heritage. With gratitude and respect, we honor the original caretakers of this land, embracing the opportunity to learn from and contribute to the rich tapestry of their culture. May our shared journey on this land be guided by understanding, kindness, and a commitment to unity.

La Cité Francophone is a vibrant cultural hub, which has drawn Laura and Robert together for memorable experiences. Renowned for its charming atmosphere, it has become a favorite gathering space for brunches, winter festivals, and live music events. The venue's allure extends to the annual Flying Canoe Festival and Fringe Festival, where the couple attends every year. La Cité Francophone showcases Edmonton's french cultural richness to enhance lasting memories.

Padmanadi Restaurant holds a special place in Laura's heart as it marks her first meal at a vegetarian restaurant back in 2007. This cherished eatery has since become a beloved spot for anyone seeking delicious conscious eats. Beyond the mouth watering dishes, what makes Padmanadi truly exceptional is its alignment with values of community kindness and environmental consciousness. As patrons, Laura and Robert find joy in supporting a restaurant that not only caters to their dietary preferences and is DELICIOUS but actively gives back to the community through hot meal donations. Padmanadi's commitment to supporting all our community members amplifies the dining experience, creating fulfillment and shared purpose for all those who frequent this culinary gem.

Join us in raising a glass to love and happiness, all while contributing to a cause close to our hearts. We will be charging a small amount for drinks ($2). Every dollar of profit made by the bar will go towards supporting Zoey's Animal Rescue, an organization dedicated to the welfare of our furry friends. Your generosity not only adds to the joyous atmosphere of our celebration but also makes a meaningful impact on the lives of animals in need. Cheers to love, laughter, and making a positive difference together!
