Things That Are Happening

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.

Thank You To All Our Friends…

Our consultants are leaders in their areas of interest and are the reason Three Things has been able to find the kind of success we have in each project, activity and gathering.  We are so grateful for them and we honour them.  If you’ve crossed paths with these folks, you know, like we do, that they are the foundation of the good works being done collectively by Three Things.  We are grateful they have stayed connected during these challenging past few years and have been enjoying the chance to see them, in person, working together to create change.

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

There are many choices available for organizations, communities and governments when engaging with outside vendors to support their activities, develop and deliver community-based programming, offer services including program evaluations, process facilitation and communications and provide strategic advice. Most provide quality work and it can be a challenge to determine the best fit for your needs. Based on the number of clients who have engaged with us repeatedly, we believe we can be the fit you are looking for. We have found when we share values with our clients, we are able to develop lasting relationships that provide meaningful and measurable results from our work. We root our work in traditional knowledge and processes, research and science and years of experience. We are Three Things Consulting. We are an Indigenous owned and incorporated company, originally a collaboration between three innovators with a combined experience of more than seventy years in facilitation, evaluation, program design, youth and adult gathering development and management, community and youth engagement, project and research development and implementation, training and capacity building, assessment, strategic planning, partnership/program development and knowledge sharing. Our roots and process are tied to a core lesson learned from our work: people matter, are important and belong. Our focus is on engagement, development, motivation and healing. We share #the3Things with young people, their families, communities and allies reminding them that they matter, are important and that they belong.

Whether you are language learner, speaker or Warrior (supporting others to build their knowledge) - it matters. As much as we honour the languages today, we honour you as well.

Each time the languages are spoken, it's heard by our ancestors who are reminded we're still here and it's heard by our descendants who have yet to be welcomed to this world. Again, it matters.

If you haven't yet been able to walk that path towards your Peoples language, it doesn't make you less than. We send warm thoughts your way to be reminded that it is not your doing that has led to this. You matter.

We celebrate today by sharing, speaking and lifting up those who creating that change and reclaiming what was forcibly taken.

If you can, be bold and brave and share a quick video in the comments below with hello in your language. (Or simply type it in the comments).

If you live in Kingston there's a good chance you have seen the billboards for Kyro Mechanical - and if you join us this Saturday, you'll get to hear the story of how it came to be from founder and owner, Kyle Roberts. And what a powerful story it is...and this isn't an April Fools prank - we really do have a great show coming up!

Come Walk With Us...live this Saturday and be inspired by his journey and, well, probably share a few laughs along the way.

Grab a tea and come back at 7 PM Eastern on April 1st.

While updating our website (be sure to read more about Three Things' Youth Voice, Development, and Healing Gatherings) we were updating our team page...and while we didn't get it all done - we were reminded of the brilliance, wisdom, passion, care, and love shared by those who walk with us throughout a given year.

This is a snapshot of some of those amazing folks who help us build community, share spaces and experiences with young people and adults alike while lifting up those around them.

What a gift we have in the people who surround us.
