Today is National Indigenous Peoples Day. June 21 is a day to honour First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples and recognize the histories, cultures, languages and contributions that continue to shape communities across Canada.

This day is close to Taproot’s work and relationships. Many of the people we serve, work alongside and learn from are Indigenous. Their knowledge, experiences and leadership matter to who we are and how we show up.

National Indigenous Peoples Day also belongs within the ongoing work of truth and reconciliation. It calls us to keep listening, learning and building relationships with humility and respect.

Today, we honour Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island and the strength carried through family, land, language, culture and community.

Pride is about visibility. It is also about who gets to imagine a future with love, community, connection and belonging.

After attending a screening of A Place Where I Belong, a documentary following 2SLGBTQIA+ adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, members of our team have been reflecting on what inclusion means in the work we do.

For people with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are q***r or questioning, there may be fewer accessible opportunities to connect with 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, fewer visible role models, and fewer spaces where identity can be explored safely.

As service providers, part of supporting full and self-directed lives is listening with curiosity. What may be seen as a behaviour may sometimes be someone expressing identity, seeking connection, or trying to communicate who they are.

This Pride Month, we honour the right to be seen, supported and included in the fullness of who we are.

June is National Indigenous History Month.

Across Canada, this month honours the histories, cultures, languages, knowledge and contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples.

The official visual identity brings together symbols representing First Nations, Inuit and Métis cultures, with colours and patterns that reflect connection, resilience, remembrance and renewal.

At Taproot, this month matters across our workplaces, the people we serve, and the communities we are part of. There is room here for learning, celebration, grief, respect and responsibility. All of it matters.

Employee ownership starts on day one at Taproot. We’re hiring a full-time Outreach Worker in Kenora, Ontario.

This role supports youth and families through trauma-informed outreach, structured educational support, community connection and relationship-based practice.

If you bring strong communication skills, good judgement, and a grounded approach to supporting youth through complex needs, this is meaningful work with a team that values what you bring.

Today is Mother’s Day.
There is a lot held in that word.

For some, it is a day of celebration. For others, it can bring up grief, distance, longing, or other complicated feelings.

At Taproot, we see the steady, everyday ways people show up for one another. Mothers, grandmothers, aunties, foster parents, kinship caregivers, and those who offer care, love, protection, patience, and support in ways that may not always be named.

Today, we recognize the relationships that help people feel safe, rooted, and cared for.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Today is Red Dress Day, the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls and 2SLGBTQI+ people.

The red dress has become a powerful symbol of absence, remembrance and the lives that should still be here.

At Taproot, we pause to honour those who are missing and those whose lives have been taken, and to hold space for the families, survivors and communities who continue to carry this grief.

This is a day for remembrance, truth and continued responsibility.

May is Asian Heritage Month in Canada. This year’s theme, Honouring Asian Canadians: Stories that Built Canada, recognizes the histories, cultures and contributions of Asian Canadians across generations.

These stories are part of Canada’s story. They live in families, communities, workplaces, neighbourhoods, traditions, languages and everyday acts of care, leadership and belonging.

At Taproot, respect for all voices is one of our values. In our work, that means recognizing the histories and lived experiences people bring with them, and making room for people to be seen, heard and respected.
