Thrilled to see our team on two panels at the @IPSSevent to discuss the #infrastructure gap in #Indigenous communities, and #reconciliation and politics. We were proud to be part of such a critical and powerful discourse! #cndpoli

Happy #NationalIndigenousHistoryMonth and #PrideMonth! We're excited to celebrate and to continue educating ourselves about the many unique #Indigenous cultures and traditions across Canada. We are always learning and we invite everyone to join our journey of self-reflection.

That's a wrap on our in-person work in #ThunderBay! It has been an incredible few months gathering #DEI insights from staff across five organizations and participating in #communityengagement sessions. Now the work continues.

We're thrilled to be back where it all started on Sweetgrass First Nation! This month is packed with travelmeeting with international #changemakers at the @UN, lobbying in Parliament, and lots of gatherings with #Indigenous leaders. #cndpoli #FirstNations #government

Today, we honour #RedDressDay and the #NationalDayofAwarenessforMissingandMurderedIndigenousWomenandGirls. In Budget 2024, we were pleased to see a $1.3 million investment to develop a regional Red Dress Alert system for missing Indigenous women, girls, or 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples.
