Wîhkohke: Helen Hazel House Incorporation Feast
Feast • Pipe Ceremony • Giveaway

Sponsored by the City of Edmonton’s Indigenous Relations Office

Helen Hazel House invites survivors, families, Elders, and community members to join us in ceremony as we celebrate our federal incorporation as an Indigenous‑led nonprofit. We are honoured to be building Edmonton’s first Indigenous‑led second stage shelter for women and children leaving domestic violence, grounded in culture, ceremony, and community leadership.

We will gather in a good way through a Pipe Ceremony, followed by a feast with traditional foods, cultural giveaways, and community connection.

Our all‑Indigenous Women Board of Directors will be introduced, and we will have a sign‑up table for future volunteers and community members who feel called to support this work. This includes people interested in helping with governance, cultural support, fundraising, or future programming.

Date: August 24, 2026
Location: Kihcikhaw Askî – Sacred Land (14141 Fox Drive NW)
Pipe Ceremony: 5:30 PM
RSVP: [email protected]

We are grateful to the City of Edmonton’s Indigenous Relations Office for sponsoring this gathering and uplifting Indigenous‑led healing, governance, and resurgence.

We’re excited to announce that Helen Hazel House is now federally incorporated under the Canada Not‑for‑profit Corporations Act. This milestone brings us one step closer to creating safe, trauma‑informed, culturally grounded supports for Indigenous families.

We’re also grateful to Iskotêw Training for supporting us through our incorporation process and for their continued work on our charitable status application.

Thank you for walking with us — more updates coming soon.

We are the Land March Webinar - MMIWG Calls for Justice in Communities Impacted by Resource Development.

This webinar will bring together perspectives on land, power, and the realities facing families and communities. Speakers will discuss issues related to resource extraction and consultation processes, the impacts of industrial work camps, and experiences along Highway 16.

The conversation will also include a personal account of loss and resilience, reflecting on the disappearance of a sister and the ongoing work of families and advocates supporting Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples across Canada.

Join us for a discussion on justice, accountability, and community-led responses.
