Bringing Birth Home to Chimnissing:
September 20th, 2025 at the Enjimaawnjiding Recreation Centre, Beausoleil First Nation. Breakfast will be available at 9:00 am. Event will start at 9:30 am. Lunch and snacks will be provided. This event is for Beausoleil First Nation members and invited guests only. Please note, we may contact you for more information regarding your membership status and/or registration.
Purpose of the gathering: The practice of midwifery has largely been absent from our communities including Chimnissing since the late 1960’s to early 1970’s. By bringing birth back to Chimnissing, we aim to restore the sacred practice of midwifery by bringing birth back to our community, reconnecting birthing parents and families with culturally grounded care that nurtures life, strengthens community bonds and improves health outcomes for future generations.

We are excited to share that birth is coming home to Chimnissing. Join us for a special community
gathering to learn more about the practice of midwifery and the beautiful ways Anishinaabe and
Onkwehon:we midwives are supporting our young families and strengthening our communities. We’ll
explore the midwifery scope of care—not only around pregnancy and birth, but also how cultural
practices are woven into their work.
