From our family to yours, we wish you a warm and meaningful Thanksgiving filled with connection, gratitude, and time together.

Today, Family Futures honours Indigenous communities impacted by the legacy of residential schools. Truth and reconciliation begin with listening, learning, and understanding, and we recognize the importance of honouring Indigenous voices, cultures, and traditions.

Together with our communities, we honour traditions, strengthen families, and continue the journey toward truth and reconciliation.

Every Child Matters. 🧡

Interested in learning about Indigenous parenting practices, traditional values, and culturally grounded approaches to raising children? Positive Indigenous Parenting is open to anyone interested in learning and exploring these teachings.

In Partnership with The Red Road Healing Society, this 4-session group draws on the strengths of historic First Nations child-rearing practices and traditional values, while connecting them with contemporary parenting skills. Through stories, teachings about nature, cradleboards, positive discipline, maintaining harmony in relationships, and modelling praise, participants will explore ways to build strong, positive family relationships.

📅 Saturdays, October 3–31
⏰ 11:00 AM–1:00 PM
📍 Knottwood FFRN | 1733 Mill Woods Rd.

Whether you are an Indigenous parent looking to reconnect with traditional teachings or simply interested in learning about Indigenous parenting approaches, you are welcome to join us.

Come learn, connect, and grow together.
