A Special Milestone: Celebrating the Opening of Pishkayhta Home
We were honoured to celebrate the official ribbon-cutting ceremony for Pishkayhta Home, a meaningful step forward in providing safe, supportive housing for Métis women, children, and LGBTQ2S+ individuals fleeing gender-based violence.
Pishkayhta, meaning Safety, offers six two-bedroom transitional housing units and wrap-around supports to help individuals and families find stability, healing, and hope.
More than a place to live, Pishkayhta represents safety, dignity, belonging, and the opportunity for a new beginning.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Otipemisiwak Métis Government Health Department, the City of Edmonton, Indigenous Services Canada (ISC), and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) for their partnership, funding, and support in bringing this important project to life.
We also sincerely thank our dignitaries, guest speakers, community partners, and everyone who joined us to celebrate this special milestone.
We are grateful to everyone whose dedication and contributions helped bring Pishkayhta Home to life.
Together, we continue building stronger, safer communities.
