GRATITUDE BEYOND ONE DAY

For many First Nations, giving thanks is woven into daily life, culture, and ceremony—not limited to an annual holiday.

From the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address to Mi’kmaq seasonal ceremonies, these distinct traditions honour relationships with the land, waters, plants, animals, and all that sustains life.

Take a moment to learn about the Haudenosaunee Thanksgiving Address, also known as “The Words That Come Before All Else.” It invites us to acknowledge the natural world and our responsibility to care for it.

Truth and Reconciliation Commission and its calls to action: there were 140 federally run residential schools in Canada that operated between 1867 and 1996. Survivors advocated for recognition and reparations and demanded accountability for the intergenerational impacts of harm caused. The Truth and Reconciliation Committee created 94 calls to action

At Wigwamen, we recognize the lasting impacts of residential schools and the importance of listening to Indigenous voices, acknowledging the truth, and taking meaningful action toward reconciliation.

Reconciliation is an ongoing responsibility that extends beyond September 30.

We honour survivors, their families and communities for the loss of thousands of Indigenous children who were taken from their families and placed in residential schools.

📖 Read Indigenous authors. Listen to Indigenous voices.

As we mark the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on September 30, reading books by First Nations, Inuit and Métis authors offers an opportunity to learn, reflect and deepen our understanding.

Through memoirs, fiction, poetry and children’s books, Indigenous writers share diverse histories, experiences and perspectives—including stories of identity, community, resilience and joy.

Visit your local library or bookstore, choose a book by an Indigenous author, and make space for Indigenous stories throughout the year.

🧡 Which book by an Indigenous author would you recommend?

🎉 Celebrating 25 Years of Wigwamen Tenant Picnic! 🎉

What a wonderful day of connection, laughter, and celebration at Wigwamen’s Picnic!

This annual gathering has brought tenants, families, staff, and friends together to celebrate the strength and spirit of the Wigwamen community. This year was another beautiful reminder that affordable housing is about more than providing a place to live — it is about creating a sense of belonging and community.

A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, everyone who joined us and to all the staff, board members and supporters who helped make the day possible.❤️
