Wabanaki Two Spirit Alliance

On this day we ask our community members, family, friends and allies to wear an orange shirt. Please consider why we do this, and remember: Every Child Matters.

We are happy to announce that our 2022 Regional Gathering will run from Thursday, September 8 to Sunday, September 11. Details are still being finalized, but be sure to save the dates! Next week we will be opening up the registration system, which will be online. However, be sure to check with friends, Elders and others who may not have regular access to the Internet, so they can be registered as well!

W2SA staff Suzanne Barry & Evan Butler are co-hosting an education session as part of Pride Week in Nujio'qonik, Ktaqmkuk – Bay St. George, Newfoundland. BSG Pride NL are one of our partner organizations, and both Evan and Suzanne call that region home.

June 21st is National Indigenous Peoples Day and everyone at the Alliance would like to celebrate with our families, friends and all those from other First Nations, the Inuit and Métis around Canada. As Two Spirits, we live in every dimension of personhood, and seek to support others in achieving well-being in all aspects of their selves: physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. On this day in particular, we wish you all well; we remember our ancestors that brought us into this world, and we continue to strive so the generations yet to come may thrive.

We are happy to announce that we are beginning a new project with the support of Bell's Let's Talk Fund. For more information, check out their press release, and watch the video.
