We at CCAWR stand in solidarity today & everyday with Indigenous peoples, the first inhabitants of this land. We recognize the pain and violence inflicted on residential school survivors and grief in mourning those who did not survive. We support accountability & reconciliation.

Indigenous artwork by Tsista Kennedy is being shared with the community through a @GRT_ROW bus wrap & mural. Tsista is an Anishinaabe Onyota’a:ka artist who uses symbolism to connect the story of the bison with that of Indigenous People: hotdogwaterart.com
Congratulations to all of the winners (and all founders pitching their businesses) at last night’s pitch competition at @LiftOff_CCAWR!
So inspiring to see these amazingly creative minds in our community!
