Reconciliation will not come without hard reflection, and collective action. While we work to better educate ourselves, Ottawa Markets has made the decision to donate proceeds from vending fees collected on July 1st to organizations working to support Indigenous Peoples and reconciliation. We will continue to do this every year going forward.

This year, funds will be donated to Tewegan Housing for Aboriginal Youth, an Ottawa-based transitional home for First Nations, Inuit and Métis women, ages 16 to 29. They provide a safe, culture-oriented environment where women can celebrate their traditions and acquire skills that will help them in life. They offer a wide range of programs and services including cultural programs, financial planning, outreach supports, counselling, assistance finding permanent housing and more.

Nos actions ne suffiront pas à guérir les communautés indigènes qui ont été prises pour cible de manière aussi systématique et constante. Nous devons tous travailler ensemble pour comprendre la vérité. Nous devons écouter, apprendre et prendre les mesures nécessaires pour soutenir les peuples autochtones.
