Hello there! I’m Saskia, a Master of Social Work student at Carleton University. I began my placement at Pinecrest-Queensway Community Health Centre with a bang at the end of April (right at the close of tax season) where I jumped straight into supporting the volunteer team that helped community members complete their taxes.

I’m excited to continue my education with an organization that promotes equitable and inclusive access to services, addresses the social determinants of health, and actively engages community members.

I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from Vancouver Island University and have a background working with older adults in community settings. I moved to Ottawa in August 2025 for my masters and have found it to be a beautiful and active city. I have a strong interest in working with diverse communities, including newcomers, Indigenous Peoples, and unhoused populations. I am also currently working in frontline support for individuals accessing shelters in Ottawa.

While being a student and frontline worker takes up a big part of my time and makes up most of my personality these days, I also love being outdoors, going to the gym, travelling, and doing arts and crafts!

Throughout my placement at PQCHC, I’ll be sharing my journey as I explore the many programs and community events we have to offer.

I hope you’ll join me on this learning journey as I gain a broader perspective on how a community health centre operates, collaborate with teams in the community, and learn the ins and outs of community health centre social work and beyond.

May 5th is the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit People ( ), also known as . This day is a time to remember and honour the lives of Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people who have gone missing or been murdered, while also calling for justice and action.

In Canada....
➡️ Indigenous women and girls are 12 times more likely to be murdered or go missing than non-Indigenous women.
➡️ Indigenous women make up only 4% of the female population in Canada but account for 24% of female homicide victims.
➡️ The National Inquiry into MMIWG concluded in 2019 that this crisis is a genocide, calling for urgent action to address systemic racism, discrimination, and violence.

There are many ways to show support and demand change:
🔴 Wear Red on May 5th – Show solidarity by wearing red and sharing why Red Dress Day matters.
🔴 Attend Community Events – Join vigils, marches, or educational events in your area.
🔴 Educate Yourself & Others – Learn about the 231 Calls for Justice from the National Inquiry and share this knowledge.
🔴 Support Indigenous-Led Initiatives – Donate or volunteer with organizations working for Indigenous rights and safety.

By taking action, we help honour the lives lost and work toward a safer, more just future for Indigenous women, girls, and Two-Spirit people.
