Regina’s Gathering Place hosts holiday dinner [Video]

Dozens of cars lined up around the block and down the street as the Gathering Place was the venue to a drive thru holiday dinner.

For the meal, the Regina Treaty Indian Status Services (RT/SIS) cooked nearly 30 turkeys, as well as all of the side dishes with the intention of serving upwards of 1,000 meals.

Over the last week, the team of roughly 50 people have been preparing for the meal. For many years, it has been an annual event meant to give back to the community RT/SIS serves.

“It’s about how we come together and support ourselves in community. We are remembering where we are and the people we have the privilege of serving,” said Natasha Kennedy, the executive director of RT/SIS.
