We've never been big fans of Canada Day and have never enjoyed celebrating a nation built on a doctrine of genocide. This year in particular has been especially difficult for Canada's Indigenous peoples as the bodies of babies and children are being uncovered at residential "schools" across the country. In our hearts Canadians always knew this was the truth as the stories have been told for decades - and now we have to face it. We hope you join us in this fundraiser ๐๐พ
About and their beautiful mission:
The Native Womenโs Resource Centre of Toronto (NWRCT) began when a dedicated group of Aboriginal women recognized the need for a gathering place in Toronto where Aboriginal women could share resources, support one another, and practice their traditional ways. In 1985, this vision resulted in the downtown basement office that affectionately became known as โThe Pit.โ
Today, the Native Womenโs Resource Centre of Toronto provides a safe and welcoming environment for all Aboriginal women and their children in the Greater Toronto Area. Our programs fall under six broad categories: Housing, Families, Advocacy, Employment, Education, and Youth. We also host a variety of Cultural Activities for our clients and the general public, including the annual Minaake Awards, Sisters In Spirit Vigil, and Winter Solstice .
The NWRCT is a registered charity funded by government programs as well as public and private donations.
We honour the vision of our founders as we support urban Aboriginal women and children from all walks of life. We build self-sufficiency and develop collective capacity to make positive change. We provide individual support, group programming, and cultural initiatives.
