Breaking Barriers – Indigenous Inclusion Gathering

Over the past few days, community members, advocates, and organizations came together for the Connecting Horizons Kahnawake first-ever special needs gathering, creating a powerful space to learn, connect, and share.

Onkwata’karitáhtshera has been proud to table at this 3-day event, joining important conversations on accessibility, advocacy, and community inclusion. Our Community Health Liaisons and External Projects Coordinators will also be present on the final day tomorrow - stop by to say hello and learn more about our ongoing community health initiatives.

Here are a few moments from the first two days. Nia:wen to everyone who has shared their stories and perspectives to help build a more inclusive future for all.
