October 2021

"We have to recognize and navigate the darkness before we can see the light". - Shayla Stonechild, Founder of Matriarch Movement - a non-profit focused on amplifying Indigenous womens' voices and providing wellness workshops including meditation, movement and medicine. 

At this time of truth, healing, and reconciliation, we have been called to revisit all that we stand for and represent as a not-for-profit organization. This year, September 30 is recognized nationally as Truth and Reconciliation Day that has evolved from Orange Shirt Day.

Krasman Centre is committed to sharing the truth and working towards healing and reconciliation with Indigenous communities. We welcome you to take this time to engage in activities that further our understanding of Indigenous Communities, Cultures, Histories and/or Teachings. As part of our agency focus, we hope to use our collective voices to strengthen and help heal Indigenous communities.

Peer Supporters in Richmond Hill wear orange to stand In Solidarity with the Indigenous Communities

Krasman Centre held a virtual learning circle for staff to share resources and ideas on how to take actionable steps towards change for the Indigenous communities. These conversations included personal stories and experiences of racism and oppression and how we can move forward to promote an equitable, diverse and inclusive culture. 
Thank you for attending Krasman Centre's Virtual Annual Information Meeting 

We would like thank each and every single person who attended our Virtual Annual Information Meeting on September 29. We are honoured to be supported by an incredible and passionate team of staff, visitors, funders, and partners who continue to contribute to making a difference everyday.

As seasonal vegetables and fruits remain available, we will be offering one basket per household to help stretch that dollar each month. This program will require each person to register for each month that they would like to participate in, so we can ensure we have the correct quantity of food. Limited quantities available.
