What does it mean to be a good guest?

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Atira’s CEO shares a reflection on what it means to listen, learn and be guided by Indigenous communities.

For more than 40 years, Atira has been guided by the lived experiences of Indigenous women, communities and staff. Our commitment to reconciliation continues through Indigenous leadership, meaningful relationships and action.

Today, we invite you to reflect on your own role in reconciliation and what it means to be a good guest on Indigenous lands

Atira team was pleased to attend and celebrate the launch of the Doorway to Safety Project, an initiative from BC Society of Transition Houses (BCSTH) and Ring supporting survivors of domestic violence across British Columbia.

The project will provide 3,000 Ring doorbells and camera devices, along with subscriptions, at no cost to survivors accessing BCSTH member programs across the province.

It was wonderful to come together with organizations and community members committed to supporting the safety, security and independence of survivors.

Congratulations to BCSTH and Ring on this important initiative!

Gender equality starts with safety, choice and opportunity.

For women experiencing violence, having access to safe and affordable housing, meaningful support and a community that respects their choices can make all the difference.

This Gender Equality Week, we’re recognizing that equality means more than opening doors. It means removing the barriers that prevent women from moving forward and ensuring they have the resources and support to choose their own futures.

At Atira, this work continues every day.

Congratulations, Michelle. We’re proud to have you as part of Atira’s leadership community.

Creativity can be a powerful pathway to healing, connection and opportunity.

EWMA is an Atira social enterprise where art, community and economic empowerment come together. At EWMA Studio, materials pass from one creative hand to another, becoming paintings, cards, textiles, collages, gifts and all kinds of unexpected creations.

We’re looking for gently loved art and craft supplies to share with our studio community and give a second life.

We’re currently accepting:

• Bulky and chunky yarn
• Felt and felting tools
• Old magazines and newspapers
• Photos, calendars and interesting paper
• Stickers, ephemera and collage materials
• Cardstock and card-making supplies
• Other art and craft materials that could become something wonderful

Supplies don’t need to be brand new. Gently loved is perfect.

If you have a creative stash waiting for its next adventure, please bring it by the studio.

📍 EWMA Studio
🕐 Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Thank you for helping us keep the studio stocked and creating space for art, healing, connection and community.
