Michael is one of your hosts for this 90-minute live educational gathering will immerse you in the rich tapestry of Indigenous culture, music, dance, and history while honouring Residential School Survivors. It is designed to open a dialogue with young people about the truth of Canada’s residential school system.

Do you love the North End? Do you want to see Selkirk Avenue revive and thrive and be a gathering place for renewal and revitalization? Please join me for a walk down Selkirk Avenue as part of the 2024 Jane’s Walk Winnipeg series.

I'm so honoured to be part of this awesome project where artist Lani Zastre interviews and hand sketches in pencil a number of Indigenous folks in the community. I also answered a question of what I would like to see happen in terms of how non Indigenous people can live together with Indigenous peoples, you’ll be surprised how I answered!

Thank you to the National Association of Friendship Centres for having me as one of their keynote speakers for their youth conference this year in Enoch, Alberta! Check out a couple of photos, my presentation and a few links I referenced in my presentation.

We have to stop throwing our hands in the air and saying we don’t know what to do to prevent MMIWG2S. We know what to do. We have 231 Calls For Justice that are waiting to be implemented, with 8 that all Canadians can use to take meaningful action. Let’s get to work.

I've seen immense progress in the past year within many places and people I have strong relationships with. But we need everyone to help if we're gonna make reconciliation and a good life for all a reality. I suggest that we start at the beginning, at call to action #1, do what we can to support parents and bring the children home.

If you’ve been seeing some of the main stream conversation around Indian Residential School, it has been downright hurtful! I needed to get some of my thoughts out about some of the things that we cannot deny. For example, it is undeniable that survivors and their truths are what have brought us this far!

If I could tell the city how to spend $790,000 on Indigenous Relations here is where I would want it spent…. Thank you to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives Manitoba and the Social Planning Council of Winnipeg for your leadership in bringing this year’s alternative municipal budget together!
