✨ Gignoo Indigenous Youth Gathering 2026 ✨

There are gatherings that you attend… and gatherings that stay with you. 💜

On March 4–5 in Fredericton, youth came together for the Gignoo Indigenous Youth Gathering 2026, a space rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing, community care, and the belief that our young people deserve safety, support, and opportunities to grow in culture and connection.

Across two days, youth shared laughter and learning, creativity and reflection, ceremony and celebration. They showed courage in the conversations, kindness with one another, and strength in simply showing up as themselves. Watching youth connect, to culture, to community, and to their own voices, was powerful.

Woliwon. Wela’lioq. Thank you.

Thank you to the elders and knowledge holders who helped keep us grounded, to the guests, artists, facilitators, and performers who shared their gifts, and to the staff and volunteers who cared for every detail behind the scenes.

A special thank you to Mariah Perley & Jenny Kitpo for guiding the gathering with warmth and heart as MCs, Party Bear Rentals for the decorating and entertainment that brought the space to life, the Delta Fredericton for hosting, and Chelsea Lee-Anne for capturing these moments. 📸

Most of all, thank you to the youth.
You are not just our future. You are our strength right now. ✨

Gignoo Transition House is excited to announce the launch of our annual Christmas Program!

Each year, we provide holiday support for the women and children who have accessed our services throughout the year. While the holiday season is often a time of joy and connection, for many families, it can be the most financially challenging time of the year, especially with the rising cost of living.

If you would like to support the Christmas Program at Gignoo please reach out to us using the information below. You can choose to adopt a family, donate individual gifts, or make a monetary contribution. Thank you for your generosity.
