Good morning visitors.

I wish you a pleasant extra long weekend at your cottages or in our beautiful campground.

Please note as Indigenous people, we do not celebrate Canada Day, as it commemorates a history of colonization, land expropriation, the mistreatment of our veterans and the impact of residential school era, which has resulted in ongoing intergenerational trauma within all First Nation communities.

The canadian government continues to not uphold their promises and the disrespect and the lack of consultation with First Nations with BILL C5. Our lands, water and wildlife will be at risks. Let’s continue to build nation to nation building with Truth and reconciliation calls to action! Miigwech - thank you for understanding!

We appreciate your consideration in not displaying fireworks.

Respectfully

My aspiration is for communities to recognize the bravery of individuals seeking detoxification and rehabilitation by marking their return with a joyous celebration and a symbolic blanket. This acknowledges their journey towards wholeness and spiritual rejuvenation. Community involvement is vital in supporting their ongoing recovery, sharing responsibility with families and professionals. By adopting this approach, we challenge the prevailing stigma that views addiction as a weakness, instead acknowledging its roots in disconnection, loss of identity, and related complexities.

On this year’s National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we call on non-Indigenous people and organizations in our network to use these 5 steps as a guide to take action.

1. SHOW UP: Make plans to attend Indigenous-led community events, today and beyond.

2. SUPPORT: Support Indigenous-owned and -led businesses, groups, and initiatives.

3. RESPECT: Learn the history of the land so you can work from a place of respect for traditional territories and treaty obligations.

4. CONNECT: Explore resources curated to help you listen to Indigenous voices, connect with Indigenous-led news sources, and take action.

5. DONATE: To your local Indigenous Youtb programming and make an ongoing practice of gifting time and money to Indigenous communities, organizations, and grassroots initiatives.

While today is a day that can promote good work in Truth and Reconciliation, it can also be a painful reminder of how little progress we have made in the struggle against colonization. As a network, let’s be mindful of today’s complex impacts on Indigenous communities and re-commit to always showing active support, understanding, and reciprocity in all we do.
