Protecting our families starts with conversation. 🧡

It starts with learning what to watch for, giving our youth the tools to stay safe, listening to lived experiences and making sure our families know where to turn when something doesn't feel right.

That's what Protecting Our Families is about.

Join us October 17 & 24 at Chawathil First Nation Gym for two days centred around awareness, education, safety and community. Scan the QR code to register your family.

Please help us reach more families by sharing. 🧡

Today holds different meaning for me, my family, and so many Indigenous families and communities. 🧡

Truth and Reconciliation isn't simply something we acknowledge once a year. It begins with listening to the truths shared by our grandparents, parents, aunties, uncles and cousins. It means remembering the children who never came home, honouring the Survivors who did, and recognizing the impacts that continue through generations.

As an Indigenous-owned business built around community and bringing people together, it is important to me that we make space for days like today.

Today, we honour the children, the Survivors, their families and the generations that followed.

Every Child Matters. 🧡
