Urban programming for Indigenous peoples
Indigenous-serving program
The purpose of this program is to provide services and activities for urban Indigenous peoples, and to recognize and celebrate their heritage and cultural identity. Funded by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, as of April 1, 2018, the program provides Indigenous women with weekly opportunities to experience culturally specific outings and activities. Thanks to this program, we aim to provide a positive, supportive, and healthy environment to help develop self-esteem, self-awareness, creativity and encourage meaningful cultural connections.
Participants of this program also have access to a bed in our emergency shelter, as well as to our Financial Administration Program.

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!
