Orillia Native Women’s Group’s Biinoojihn Mno-Bmaadziwin program utilizes funding from CAPC as well as CPNP to provide Orillia and surrounding area’s Indigenous women and their families with culturally relevant opportunities to promote wellness.

​

Programming is rooted in physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health, with a large focus on parenting, attachment, and nutrition.

​

Indigenous families with children aged 0-6 are welcome.

Ambe Tigadaw: Let's Grow Together is an Indigenous community garden collective created to address food insecurity and build capacity to develop, understand and coordinate local food production for the First Nations, Métis and Inuit community. 

The Indigenous Parenting Program provides Indigenous individuals and families with community-based support services aimed to build resilience. The program provides early intervention supports to children and their families to improve child development, increase education and capacity in caregivers, and enhance overall well-being. All elements of the program are grounded in Indigenous culture and traditions. 

​

Indigenous families with at least one child (aged 0-6) who resides in Orillia, Barrie, or Midland are welcome to join our program.

This program supports Indigenous women in a culturally rooted, holistic way, so that they are better able to navigate through the complex systems encountered when experiencing involvement with child welfare. The Program supports Indigenous women to create, build upon, and share their “bundles” and provides safe spaces, tailored to the individual woman and their family.
