Cultural Connections

Our approach is grounded in respect, collaboration, and commitment to being an active participant in reconciliation

Amplifying Indigenous voices

We partner with Indigenous communities to co-create content that uplifts their stories. By collaborating closely with cultural leaders and community members, we ensure that every narrative we share is told with integrity and respect.

Understanding that every lived experience is unique, we integrate trauma-informed principles into our approach, fostering a culture of safety, trust, and empowerment.

We strive to create spaces that are sensitive, empathetic, and conducive to healing. This foundational perspective informs our interactions, decision-making processes, and project implementations, ensuring that we prioritize the well-being, safety, and security of all those involved.

On July 25, 2022, in Maskwacis, Alberta, Pope Francis acknowledged and issued a formal apology on behalf of the Catholic Church’s role in the residential school system. Many Indigenous leaders and community members embraced the apology as a “first step to a path forward” towards justice and healing.
