Take the survey here: surveymonkey.com/r/LQVFB6C Each month we will be making a draw for a new iPad, eligible to those who fully complete our survey! We welcome you to share this post to help us reach more community members. Together, we can support more accessible, inclusive communities for today and future generations! @NINSIDC @julia_idcnc @IDCChildren @AFN_Updates @IDCGathering @IndigenousDCM @BCANDSPWD

🧡 On National Ribbon Skirt Day, we honour the strength woven into every ribbon skirt—stories of resistance, beauty, and pride carried forward by Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people. Our culture is alive, evolving, and visible everywhere we go. Our ribbon skirts represent confidence, connection, and the resilience of Indigenous People across Turtle Island. Art by Lauren Good Day

@Awesomevideos07 This is our local airport! #YYJ

These grandkids planned to surprise their grandma at the airport dressing as t-rex but she heard about it and planned her own surprise.

Ribbon skirts represent the strength and resilience of Indigenous Peoples – with each ribbon and stitch telling a story of culture and tradition. On #NationalRibbonSkirtDay, we reflect on our shared responsibility to build a better future as we walk the path of reconciliation.

Happy 2026! Please note that we are back to regular operating hours. Additionally, applications will now return to being sent out on Thursdays, unless an urgent need is noted on the request form (e.g. a same-day medical appointment).

We hope that you all have a wonderful 2026!

Happy holidays! Please note that BCANDS will be closed for our winter break from December 19th to December 29th, 2025.

We are thrilled that The Honourable Senator Mary Jane McCallum and Anna will visiting the office tomorrow!
