National Indigenous Peoples Day reminds us to pause and recognize our shared history as a community and the beauty and strength of our Nehiyaw culture. Today, we honour our ancestors, their teachings, stories, and ways of knowing that continue to guide us and honour Pimatisowin — the "Way of Life."

At KCWS, we value connection, kinship, patience, compassion, love and care. Through our programs and services, we create a space where children and youth can grow in connection with their identity and community.

Creating spaces where our children and youth can be who they are starts with connection - being welcomed for who you are and supported by the people around you. This Pride Month, we honour the identities and experiences of Two-Spirit, LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse children, youth, families, and community members we serve.

We work with kohkoms, mosoms, and community members to support the children, youth and families in our care to ensure Nehiyaw ways of knowing and being are incorporated into all aspects of our work. We have cultivated a culture-based program that goes beyond basic care - it is a holistic journey rooted in language, traditional practices, customs, and meaningful interactions for Indigenous children and youth to foster a deep connection with their identity and community.
