Canada's National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a day for all Canadians to recognize and commemorate the legacy of residential schools, where more than 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children were forced to attend between the 1870s and 1997.

This legacy includes the tragic ongoing recoveries of unmarked and mass graves, the injustices inflicted on Indigenous peoples and the intergenerational trauma and systemic racism that still exists today.

At Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North, we remain committed to learning more about the past actions related to our Indigenous Peoples and the Residential School System in Canada and what each of us, as settlers, can do to enhance understanding and reconciliation.

We’re aware of false or misleading posts circulating online about Habitat for Humanity programs offering free home repairs or roof replacements through grants. Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North does not currently offer a Critical Home Repair Program. While we are exploring the possibility of introducing a critical repairs program in the future, Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North has no such program in place, nor are we accepting applications.

If you see an advertisement or post claiming to offer home repairs or roofing assistance through Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North, please do not provide personal or financial information.

For accurate information about our programs and services, please rely on our official website and social media channels. We’ll share any updates about future repair programs through our official channels as they become available.

Thank you to the Government of Canada's Canada Summer Jobs programme and Scott Aitchison, MP for Parry Sound-Muskoka, for supporting youth employment in our constituency. Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North benefited from some outstanding talent this summer, including Taylor, who did a seriously impressive job as our affiliate's Digital Records Administrator.

Taylor's work resulted in lasting improvements in our digital records system and a strong foundation for future record management.

A summer job can build a lot more than a résumé. 🇨🇦
