Thank you so much, Chair.
My question is for Mrs. Wells. Part of the recommendations that came from Shift was the need to “fund and support [indigenous] community leadership in developing and implementing...initiatives that focus on traditional healing and holistic approaches.”
There are a number of community-driven men's groups that have popped up in Winnipeg—proudly, in the riding that I come from—that focus on men's healing rooted in culture and decolonization, and reviving traditional responsibilities for indigenous men. It has seen some positive results, but I'm wondering if you could share some examples or speak to the need for those kinds of initiatives and for supporting them.
