Petranella Brisco is the Cultural Resource Coordinator at the Barrie Native Friendship Centre. She is Assiniboine and Nakota from Whitebear, Saskatchewan and the granddaughter of a Residential School Survivor. She was born and raised in Ontario and away from learning about her Indigenous culture until she was older. She is the face behind the idea for our October 6th Cultural day.
Not only is Petra passionate about her Indigenous roots and helping others learn more about their roots and spreading awareness, she also has a passion for art which has helped her reconnect and learn about her family’s Indigenous side/culture and help others. Her artistic media of focus are acrylic and watercolour painting.
