The six-month program is aimed at women living on and off the reserve. It takes a holistic approach to healing, with group work, clinical counselling, mentorship and one-on-one support. Funding for the program means the program can be administered on the reserve, eliminating the need for participants to find and pay for transportation and daycare, two barriers often cited as reasons for non-attendance. “We are grateful for the support of the Victoria Foundation for making available gender-specific funding through their Gender Equality Fund,” said Patricia Rawson, interim executive director for the non-profit society. “We know that women especially Indigenous women are disproportionately affected by violence and trauma in their lives.”

“This allows everybody to safely support Our Place by taking a walk around their own neighbourhood,” said Julian Daly, executive director at Our Place. “This walk allows the community to come together and show how much they care about the most vulnerable members of society.” The walk in the cold gives people an opportunity to experience what so many people without homes endure every night, Daly said. “On the coldest nights, we try to get as many people indoors as possible. But, unfortunately, there are still people left outside. ” Participants can organize their own two to five-kilometre walks by themselves or form teams with members of their households or safe bubbles and collect pledges online.
