We have secured a room in the LLTC Learning Center for the Ojibwemowin Speaker Gatherings where learners can come speak to and learn from first speakers of Ojibwemowin. We've had two more Ojibwemowin Speaker Gatherings. Both were wonderful gatherings where learners and speakers had fun, and learners were able to gather valuable language knowledge from our speakers. We have gathered more names of 1st speakers to invite to future gatherings. We will work to find them and invite them to the gatherings in a proper way. All of our activities other than the Speaker gatherings, take place during the academic year of the College; activites are not held during times when classes are not in session.
