Today, September 30, Alive House honours the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. We remember the children who never came home and honour Survivors, their families, and communities affected by residential schools.

This day calls us to listen to Indigenous voices, learn the truth about the history and ongoing impacts of residential schools, and reflect on our responsibilities. Reconciliation requires continued attention, honesty, and action throughout the year.

May we carry this work forward by making space for truth, supporting Indigenous-led efforts, and building communities where people are treated with dignity and care. 🧡

Inclusive leadership turns welcome into opportunity. 💛

Hearing the story of impact from Paula Calderon , our recipient of the Belonging & Community Award in Calgary, reminded us that belonging requires intention and must go beyond words.

We will never forget how Paula spoke about walking through every part of the Canadian Immigrant Women’s Association building to ensure that everyone felt seen, welcomed, and appreciated. That is inclusive leadership in action.

Thank you, Paula, for always placing belonging at the centre of everything you do and creating opportunities for others to thrive!

Belonging is not simply a feeling we wait for, it is a future we build together.

Every conversation, partnership and courageous action can help create communities and systems where newcomers, employers and community leaders can thrive together.

Belonging becomes real when people feel safe to speak and know their voices will be heard.

Let’s listen deeply, speak with courage, and turn our shared values into meaningful action.

We’re delighted to welcome Srijain (Sree-Jane) Shrestha as Co-Executive Lead at Alive House!

With experience across the non-profit and global health sectors, Srijain brings a collaborative spirit, a global perspective, and a deep commitment to creating employment opportunities for newcomers and advancing housing as a fundamental human right.

Here’s a message from Srijain:

“Hello everyone! My name is Srijain Man Shrestha and I am a proud Nepali-Canadian. I was born in Kathmandu, Nepal and immigrated to Canada with my family when I was seven years old. Since coming to Canada, I have called the province of New Brunswick my home. During my undergraduate years, I earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of New Brunswick and subsequently a Master’s of Management in Applied Sciences in Global Health Systems from Western University. My professional experience entails working within the non-profit and global health sectors.

I love to collaborate, communicate, and learn about other cultures! Some of the things I enjoy most are reading and watching films from around the world. I love to learn other languages and I am currently trying to learn French. So if you see me, please feel free to speak in French and I will try my best to converse!

I am very excited to be working alongside other Alive House members to help catalyze employment opportunities for newcomers and I deeply believe in housing as a fundamental human right for all.”

Please join us in welcoming Srijain to his new leadership role!
