Smudging is welcome on Festival property and in any of our buildings. We ask that you please do not smudge in stairwells and elevators (this is to avoid setting off smoke alarms) but all other locations are welcome.
Smudge Kits are available for use in the rehearsal hall from our Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Manager upon request. All kits include sacred medicines (Sage & Tobacco), a smudge bowl and matches.
Please inquire for details with:
Meineka Kulasinghe - Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Manager - mkulasinghe@stratfordfestival.ca
