Executive Director. N'Dinawemak - Our Relative's Place. Inner City Leader. Passionate About Indigenous Development.

A huge problem with camps, and what often gets them in conflict with authorities, is the accumulation of trash. Occupants of the camp have no way to dispose of trash so it tends to accumulate and create fire and health hazards. We chose to do something about that! The N'Dinawemak - Our Relatives' Place Community Care Team joined forces with the Downtown Community Safety Partnership (DCSP) Winnipeg Winnipeg Clean Slate Team and Siloam Mission M.O.S.T. for a community clean-up along the Red River. We managed to fill up three large commercial bins with garbage and connected with many of our relatives, providing them with sandwiches and water. The N'Dinawemak Community Care Team is out every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30am-1:00pm with plans to increase operations! #helpthehomeless #communityleaders #showsomelove

Great! Providing basic services to people who are trying to stay in one place can let them climb back up.
