Yesterday, our Manager of Research and Strategic Initiatives attended the 2026 Nonprofit Data Capacity Summit in Toronto.

An important theme that came up throughout the day was that good community data is built with people, not just about them. Lived experience matters, and meaningful research happens when we work alongside community members and organizations, not just collect data about them.

These conversations are an important reminder of why community-driven, Indigenous-led approaches to data, research, and decision-making matter.

It is the time of year for gathering and enjoying warm delicious meals together!

Today, at our senior building we came together to enjoy a delicious meal, good conversation, and lots of laughs.

Programs and gatherings like this are so important. They create opportunities for our community to get to know one another, build friendships, and feel connected to their neighbours and community. Some of the friendships that have grown between our tenants may never have happened without these gatherings of coming together, and that’s pretty special.

A big thank you to our Wellness Worker Vanessa and Transitional Housing Worker Doug for coordinating such a delicious meal and creating another wonderful opportunity to connect, enjoy each other’s company, and celebrate the season together.

So thankful 🧡🍂

A little harvest, a lot of heart!

Our Transitional Housing Team has been busy all day preparing a nourishing harvest meal for our transitional clients and families to enjoy together. We appreciate all the heart, care, and hard work you put into creating these special moments. You’re truly appreciated!

Sharing a meal, having a laugh, and spending time together may seem like simple things, but they can mean so much. These moments help create connection, support healing, and build a stronger sense of community.

A big thank you to our Cultural Coordinator for facilitating medicine pouches for everyone to make together. It was a great way to connect, share, and learn from one another.

Grateful for good food, good company, culture, connection, and community.

We are excited to share that the lot has been cleared and is being prepared for construction, the work is underway! As we are one step closer, we understand that great things take time, and we will continue to share updates throughout the development.

We can't wait to watch Ojistoh House take shape!

Tonight, our community came together to learn how to make leather medicine bags.

With hands busy and conversations flowing, members shared skills and helped each other along the way. There was plenty of laughter, learning, and connection woven into the evening.

Miigwech and Nya:węh to everyone who joined us and helped make the evening so special.

Thank you to Woodland Cultural Centre for having us be part of your National Day for Truth and Reconciliation event yesterday. We were truly honoured to stand alongside so many wonderful Indigenous organizations, community partners, and community members as we came together to remember, learn, celebrate culture, and strengthen our connections.

It was a meaningful day filled with culture, teachings, and community. Hopefully everyone managed to fit in some time for the amazing food vendors, a little shopping at the artisan market, and, of course, a photo booth moment or two. Because if you didn’t get a picture, did you even go?!

We are grateful to Woodland Cultural Centre for all the care and effort that went into bringing everyone together for such an important day. And are proud to be part of a community that continues to honour the past, celebrate our cultures, and work toward a stronger future for the next generations.

As an Urban Indigenous organization, BNH has an important role in supporting Indigenous people as they build their lives in an urban setting. For us, that means more than providing housing. It means creating opportunities for our community to stay connected to culture, identity, family, and traditional teachings, while building relationships and understanding with the broader community. Through this work, we hope to create a place where Indigenous people feel they belong, where culture can thrive, and where we can all move forward together.

Truth and Reconciliation is not about leaving the past behind. It is about listening, learning, acknowledging the truth, and using what we learn to create meaningful change.

It is also about hope, strength, culture, family, and community. When we come together, share our teachings, celebrate our culture, and support one another, we create space for healing and connection.

For BNH, our youth are at the heart of this work. We want our young people to know where they come from, to be proud of who they are, and to know that their voices, stories, and futures matter. We want them to grow up in a community where they feel safe, supported, connected, and hopeful.

We are proud to continue walking this journey together, building a stronger, healthier, and more connected community for today and for the generations to come.

A special thank you to local artist Kristin (Krissy) Monture for designing our beautiful orange shirts this year!

Every Child Matters.
