This walk is a time for remembrance, healing, and community: uplifting the voices of Indigenous families and acknowledging lives that must never be forgotten.

All are welcome to walk with intention, respect, and love.

🧡 We walk for those who can’t.
🧡 We remember their names.
🧡 We stand for healing across generations.

Today is the National Day of Mourning in Canada. 🕯️

We pause to remember and honour workers who have lost their lives, been injured, or become ill as a result of their work. It’s a day to reflect, to support the families and communities left behind, and to renew our shared commitment to workplace health and safety.

No job is worth a life. Let’s keep looking out for one another today and every day.

Please observe one minute of silence at 11:00 am in memory of workers who have died, been injured or suffered illness in the workplace.💛

Our Tagge Street clients had a busy and joy filled weekend! They kicked things off by getting their hands dirty planting vegetable seeds and looking forward to a fresh and healthy growing season.🥕
They also enjoyed a visit to the St. Jacob’s Farmers’ Market, where everyone loved exploring the sights, smells, and local goodies. 🍎

To top it all off, they celebrated one of the client’s birthdays with smiles, laughter, and plenty of cheer! 🎂
