Request a Meeting

EPL’s Elders in-residence work within PÎYÊSÎW WÂSKÂHIKAN in the Stanley A. Milner Library (downtown) only. Individuals or groups can submit a request to meet with an Elder. Requests should be submitted at least two weeks in advance.

Please note:
Scheduling:

• Depending on capacity your prearranged meeting may not happen on your first choice of date or time.
• We prioritize meetings with individuals, as well as organizations seeking to partner with EPL and the EIR program.

Information:

• Follow-up information may be asked beyond the form submission to better support your conversation with an Elder.
• There are some areas of Indigenous history, spirituality, and culture that Elders are not comfortable sharing due to protocols or the sensitive nature of the information.

If you are looking to collaborate with Edmonton Public Library and the Elders in Residence Program, please clearly indicate this
