Support with Evacuees - Timmins

Since January the community of Kashechewan have been displaced from their homes, and evacuated to Timmins and various cities across Ontario. Lily was able to provide cultural support/programming for the community members in a number of activities. The immense pressures in worrying of home, taking yourself, your family, your loved ones to a new location for a long duration can definitely take a toll mentally, physically, and spiritually. It's a blessing to reconnect through culture, cooking, story telling, sharing laughter and a place to vent, craft, express these concerns. Kitchi-miigwech Lily!
