Indspire is an Indigenous national charity that invests in the education of First Nations, Inuit and MĂ©tis people for the long-term benefit of these individuals, their families and communities, and Canada. In partnership with Indigenous, private and public sector stakeholders, Indspire educates, connects and invests in Indigenous people so they will achieve their highest potential. We serve First Nations, Inuit, and MĂ©tis students in remote communities, rural areas and urban centres across Canada. With the support of our funding partners, we disburse financial awards, deliver programs, and share resources with the goal of increasing graduation rates for Indigenous students.

For , Canada’s national giving day for Donor Advised Funds, we wanted to celebrate the generosity of donors like Patricia Cameron. 🧡

Patricia and her husband, Brian, are longtime Indspire supporters and monthly Change Makers who recently took another meaningful step: leaving a gift in their will to support future generations of First Nations, Inuit, and MĂ©tis students.

As retired educators, education and reconciliation are deeply connected to why they give.

“For us, it makes sense to continue facilitating the acquisition of knowledge and skills for future generations, after we are gone. It is a way to be better ancestors.” — Patricia Cameron

Today, we thank Patricia and Brian, and all those who choose to invest in Indigenous education today and for generations to come.

The impact of the National Gathering goes beyond the room. 🧡

When educators feel supported, inspired, and connected, they bring new knowledge and perspectives back to their classrooms and communities, creating pathways for Indigenous youth and the next generation.

Hear from Shauna Durelle, National Lead, Social Investment at Shell Canada Limited - the Climbing the Mountain Session Sponsor - on why investing in educators has an impact that reaches so much further.

On World Mental Health Day, we’re honouring the voices, experiences, and people creating meaningful change in Indigenous mental health and wellness. 🧡

This year’s theme, “Lived Experiences Heard: Real Voices, Real Change,” reminds us of the importance of listening to lived experience and ensuring it helps shape the systems and supports meant to serve our communities.

Today, we’re proud to spotlight Building Brighter Futures alum Dr. Hannah Brugé-Luviano, an artist, scholar, educator, researcher, and proud Métis woman from Treaty 5 with roots in Penetanguishene, Ontario.

As Manager of Research and Knowledge Mobilization at CAMH, Hannah works to advance health equity for First Nations, Inuit, and MĂ©tis communities through community-driven, reciprocal research partnerships. Her journey as an artist, music educator, and researcher continues to inform her commitment to improving Indigenous mental health and wellness and creating meaningful, community-informed change.

This , we celebrate Hannah and all those working to ensure Indigenous voices and lived experiences are heard, valued, and reflected in the path toward better mental health and wellness.
