NSPC works to promote and strengthen solutions to the urgent conditions and challenges faced by these communities.
As a member of the research team with NSPC, I conducted research and documented living conditions and community life in the far north.
The Provincial Centre of Excellence for Child and Youth Mental Health at CHEO www.onthepoint.ca / Tibacimowin: Gathering of Stories Project:
This project involved the documentation and collection of stories shared by the Elders in 7 remote First Nation Communities. These stories were shared with youth from these same communities, exploring individual and collective identity; history; customs; practices; purpose; and community.
