Inuit wellness and balanced lifestyles
Indigenous program
The project includes three main areas: Inuit community gatherings, wellness groups, and workshops. Activities encompass cultural celebrations, wellness workshops, and youth empowerment initiatives, all designed to foster community well-being, support vulnerable populations, and build the capacity of Inuit youth as future leaders. The objectives include promoting Inuit culture, addressing food insecurity, creating support networks, and empowering Inuit youth to be voices for positive change in their community.
People that are interested need to register to the workshops of their choice.
Some activities are available for Inuit and their family. A beneficiary number may be required for some activities and benefits.
Note that traditional food is available on occasions.
- Snacks are distributed to people joining our activities.
- Intervention workers are present to provide listening, referrals and support.
- There is a children entertainment section in our offices, as this is a kid friendly space.
- Computers are available for participants on the site.
These services are intended for Indigenous peoples
The INDex was created to support First Nations, Inuit and Métis in Tiohtià:ke/Montreal in finding relevant and up-to-date information on services that were created specifically for them. Our goal is to promote cultural safety and community connectedness.
If you are an Indigenous person living, moving to or visiting Tiohtià:ke, the INDex can support you in your steps!
