How This Space Is Transforming Lives

The Mikisew Awasis Kisiwatsowin Society represents a major milestone in bringing child welfare back under the control of the Mikisew Cree First Nation - empowering the community to care for its children in ways that honour culture, language, and tradition.

This new space furnished by Spaces Inc. provides a safe, welcoming environment where families can access support rooted in Indigenous values and self-determination.
