Who We Are

We are an Indigenous led 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 to listen, ready to assist you in completing projects that will truly and permanently improve your living conditions. We will listen to your concerns and to your ideas, bring ideas for you to consider, then get to work raising funds to support your needs. We will provide funding that will support your residents being given apprenticeships and 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 fund projects that:

  • Provide easier access to country food
  • Provide better equipment for processing harvests
  • Provide greenhouses and hydroponics to support agriculture
  • Provide equipment to provide cooling in summer, warming in winter as needed
  • 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.
  • Provide 3D printers to communities so they can mass produce garments locally. 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.

Promise for the North Logo

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.
