Building relationships for long-term success
We are often asked, how do we choose a community to support? While we focus our efforts on remote and semi-remote communities where resources are often scarce, our primary criteria in selecting a community is not the need for resources — it is actually unity in purpose — a shared vision for empowerment and a desire to achieve common objectives for community wellness.
Few organizations in Canada have worked in as many communities as we have. The pan-Canadian experience we have gained is invaluable in understanding the complexity of the work of reconciliation and also the vast and beautiful diversity of languages, cultures and peoples inhabiting this great land.
To date, we have served in the following 71 communities and in over 40 schools:
