His story is emotionally & psychologically charged, yet, it’s a celebration of overcoming, accomplishment, & triumph.

We are thrilled to invite you to participate in Women in Nonprofit Awareness Day (WNAD) on October 21, a new national initiative led by the Women’s Nonprofit Network (WNN) to honour the essential contributions of women leaders across Canada’s nonprofit sector.

Why This Matters
Women make up over 80% of Canada’s nonprofit workforce, powering communities with skill, heart, and resilience; yet their work often goes unrecognized. WNAD is about visibility, recognition, and celebration.

How You Can Get Involved
Celebrate Women Leaders: Share stories, profiles, or achievements of the women leading your organization.

Host Mini-Events or Panels: Organize a local roundtable, workshop, or virtual panel to highlight women in your community.

Share on Social Media: Post tributes, stories, or recognition using our hashtag .

Tag the Women’s Nonprofit Network: Instagram: | LinkedIn: /womensnonprofitnetwork

Amplify Voices: Re-share stories from WNN and spotlight women making an impact in your network, including our award winners, who will be announced in conjunction with WNAD.

To all our followers, learners, service users, tutors, and friends who celebrate, LDANL wishes you a Happy Diwali!

May this festival of lights bring you prosperity, health, and good fortune.

Sadly, a member of the LDANL family, Nick Hender, passed away unexpectedly a few days ago at the age of only 46.

Nick did a lot of invaluable community work with LDANL and positively impacted many lives. His contribution to the organisation came from a place of passion to advocate for those who need it most in this province.

LDANL will miss Nick very much and his hard work will never be forgotten. Please keep his family in your thoughts during this difficult time. For those who knew Nick personally and would like to pay their respects, there will be visitation at Barrett's Funeral Home on October 5th (Sunday) between 2-9pm.

There will be no LDANL tutoring tomorrow, September 30th, in observance of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (also known as Orange Shirt Day).

We encourage all our followers, learners, service users, and staff members to use tomorrow as a day of education to learn more about residential schools and Indigenous history. There are even events at places like The Rooms in St. John's where you can go to learn more. The further we educate ourselves, the more we can try to make a lasting difference in our communities.

If you have the financial means to do so, consider making a donation to organisations such as the Orange Shirt Society or the Indian Residential School Survivors Society. If you decide to purchase an orange shirt to express support, please try to get it from an Indigenous-owned company.
