Things That Are Happening
Leading up to this important day, Canadians have the opportunity to listen and learn from Indigenous writers, artists, creators, and most importantly, survivors and their families of residential schools, day schools, enfranchisement policies, and the ongoing inequities facing Indigenous Peoples in Canada. It is critical to understand why September 30th, originally known as Orange Shirt Day, matters.
Many workplaces and community spaces are unsure or not confident in how to acknowledge this day in a respectful and meaningful way. Is wearing an orange shirt or posting on social channels enough? No, it’s not. Should you want to build the understanding of your team, our team of Indigenous consultants, can help. Connect with us regarding our in person or Zoom based 1 – 3 hour sessions that help businesses and organizations gain a greater understanding of how this day came to be and what can be done, individually, and as a collective to move forward the path of truth telling and reconciliation based actions.
Youth voice matters as it provides an invaluable perspective on the issues that matter most to young people.
Youth are the present and the future, and their voices are critical to creating a better path forward for all. By listening to the perspectives of young people, we can better understand the challenges they face and co-create solutions tailored to their needs.
Furthermore, empowering young people to make their voices heard is essential for their development and empowerment. It provides them with an opportunity to express their opinions and be heard, and to feel valued and respected. It is also an important part of building their confidence, resilience, and self-esteem.
Finally, listening to the perspectives of young people is vital for creating meaningful and lasting change. It ensures that their needs and experiences are considered when making decisions and policies, and it encourages more diverse perspectives and more equitable outcomes.
Youth voices are essential for creating a stronger, healthier and better future for us all.

Pathways Thunder Bay Transitions to Shkoday Abinojiiwak Obimiwedoon
It is an exciting time in Thunder Bay, as with the support of Pathways to Education Canada and their commitment to youth led community engagement, this fall Pathways Thunder Bay, after a Bundle Transfer Ceremony, was passed along to be cared for and led by Shkoday Abinojiiwak Obimiwedoon. We are so grateful to the Regional Multicultural Youth Centre (RMYC) and young people who carried the voices of Indigenous students forward and helped launch the program.
Now with a full running program, Pathways Thunder Bay has the grade nine students who started last year in grade 10 and new students registering every month.
As the program evolves and grows, stay tuned to the amazing and important work that is taking place in Thunder Bay! As always we are humbled to walk the path forward in a good way in Thunder Bay.

3 Things Consulting
Was proud to see, here in Kingston, where Three Things calls home, a much larger gathering of champions and allies for trans people, and powerful acts of love and care.
