Who We Are
We are a Registered Charity dedicated to leveling the playing field for indigenous families and communities throughout the territories.
When we engage with your community, our promise is that we will come with funds in hand, ready to assist your leaders in completing projects that will truly and permanently improve your living conditions. We will bring ideas for you to consider, but we will focus on listening to your ideas. We will then work hard to implement the projects you need. We will ensure residents in your community are offered apprenticeships and giving the training and experience needed to gain long-term employment in career fields needed to support the community and help the community toward self-sufficiency.
We will work with communities, as each desires, to:
- Build distillation plants, access surface freshwater, or drill wells, then install piping, pumping, and treatment systems to permanently and reliably provide stable sources of drinking water.
- Eliminate black mould in homes and affect other needed repairs, to ensure every family has a healthy environment to live in.
- Build homes at charitable rates. Costs that are low enough so we can then sell the homes to families instead of selling them to the government who then must turn around and rent them to families as public housing.
- Work with banks to ensure families get the absolute best terms for down payments and interest rates, making the homes as affordable as current public housing.
- Build greenhouses and provide better fishing and hunting equipment to increase the supply of healthy food.
- Build garment factories so they can make clothes for the entire region. Clothes designed by local artists, clothes made by local residents who receive the training needed for a career in the garment industry.
- Build other community buildings needed to ensure the eliminated insecurities stay eliminated. This could include things like medical centers, dental offices, schools, and daycare facilities.
- Other solutions as the community desires. We are here to serve. We understand that the problems in the north are best solved by people from the north. We can provide ideas, but our primary goal is to raise funds then acquire the material, equipment, and labour needed to complete the projects so badly needed by each community.
These are massive and permanent solutions to monumental issues that have plagued these communities for generations.
Northern Lights and the Inukshuk
We chose these as our symbols for an important reason.
One is made by man. All who see one think of it as a guiding spirt. In the hectic pace of life, where the trials of the moment can feel overwhelming, the statue is a reminder that time moves slowly, saying to us "here is the path, go this way and you will be fine."
The other is an amazing gift from the heavens. Massive and timeless, beautiful and reverent, the lights remind us of how big the world is and beg us to take a moment just to breathe, think, and be inspired. They are a calming influence for most, again a message that says life is a journey.
Both of these are symbolic of the North, but both serve as icons for our work as they show we are trying to provide a good path to a better place, and that we are with you for your journey through life, acting as a guide, a support, and a companion.
