THE POWER OF
COMMUNITY COLLABORATION
“A diverse community is a resilient community, capable of adapting
to changing situations.” - Fritjof Capra
Diversity is the strength of our community and LCF is unwavering in its mission to foster a London and
Middlesex where everyone belongs. By taking bold stances on our community’s most pressing issues, with
the support of our donors and community partners, we are mobilizing equitable change.
The past two years have been anything but easy. As a community and a foundation we have faced
challenges that we’ve never experienced before, but by working together in the face of social upheaval and
disruption, we have become stronger.
Our role as a community foundation is to support London and Middlesex County in good times and in bad -
that’s the power of endowment. Thanks to you, this past year we granted $4.7 million and our endowment
reached $109 million! Your generosity is helping build a permanent pool of capital that’s ready to address
our community’s needs today and in the future.
In 2021 we worked together to respond to the ongoing pandemic, we grieved with fellow Londoners after
a terrible act of Islamophobia, and we grappled with the difficult truths and ongoing injustices faced by
Indigenous peoples in our nation. Through these experiences we have recognized the true strength and
resiliency of our community.
It is our goal to ensure that no one in our community is left behind. Our commitment to equity and justice
continues to grow through initiatives such as the Strong Together Fund, Canada Healthy Communities
4Initiative, LCF COVID-19 Response Fund, and Community Vitality. These initiatives help address critical
needs that have been further exacerbated by the pandemic and provide support and allyship to equity-
deserving groups in our community.
As we begin to enter a post-pandemic world, more than ever before, we are calling for systemic
change, and that can only occur with collaborative, collective action.
We hope after reading this report, you will recognize the power of collaboration and will join us as we
continue to build a vibrant, just and resilient London and Middlesex.

Sustainable Development Goals
As leaders, mobilizers, and agents of social change, LCF believes our community is only as strong
as our most vulnerable person. That’s why we have been integrating the United Nations’ Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) - a universal framework and call-to-action to end poverty, tackle inequalities,
and create a more sustainable and thriving community - into our work. The SDGs are strongly aligned with
our Vital Signs issue areas and are rooted in the important philosophy of “leave no one behind.”
This integration is an opportunity to connect our local work to global health and well-being, because
global change starts locally. Today, the definition of community goes beyond traditional geographic
boundaries and connecting our work to the bigger picture has never been more important.
Through global collaboration and local action, the United Nations aims to achieve all 17 goals by 2030.
By creating a shared language and standardized method of measuring impact, we can effectively work
toward achieving these goals to create a better and more sustainable future for all.
Throughout this report you will notice the SDG indicators being used to map our impact on various issue
areas. We hope this helps you familiarize yourself with the SDGs and how LCF is working toward the
United Nations’ 2030 agenda. We encourage you to learn more about how we’re implementing the SDGs
in our Vital Signs report by visiting bethechangelondon.ca

5LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
London Community Foundation is committed to working towards reconciliation and to
suppor ting the recommendations of Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
It is in this spirit that we acknowledge that the community we call London and Middlesex County is
situated on the traditional Indigenous territory of the Anishinaabe, Attawandaron, Haudenosaunee
and the Lenape peoples. For countless centuries Indigenous peoples have been stewards of these
lands, sharing the natural resources and only harvesting what was needed for their sustenance. We are
grateful for this land, though we must recognize that it was stolen from the Indigenous peoples who
originally lived on it.
We also recognize the historical and ongoing injustice often faced by Indigenous peoples and
communities, both within London and across Canada. This process of recognition and action is
constant and with that, we are committed to the ongoing crucial steps of consideration, education,
re-education, and work that are required to reconcile and create a more equitable and just community.
LCF’s Commitment to Racial Equity, Inclusion and Diversity
The LCF team is committed to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, equitable and just community. We’re taking
action, learning, unlearning, reflecting and evaluating ourselves as an organization; we’re on an ongoing
journey towards anti-racism, and we hope that you’ll join us as we follow through on this commitment.
DONOR STORIES

and Judith and Wilson Rodger. We hope you are moved by their stories.
To each and every LCF donor and fundholder: we hope you know how much you mean to us and the
community you support!

PAUL ROBSON
Healing by Helping: Continuing Beckett’s Legacy of Kindness
“Beckett was an incredible kid – kind, respectful, smart, and so funny. He was a natural-born
teacher and really enjoyed working with kids. He had a great future ahead of him.”
That’s Ann Robson, Beckett Smith’s mom. Beckett was a technology whiz, a kid who built his
first computer at age 11. He was captain of his school’s robotics team and volunteered with a
junior robotics team and a computer camp for kids. He was an animal lover who once rescued
a llama that had run away from a petting zoo. He ordered 50 rubber ducks online, telling his
parents, “They were only a buck, and I’ll find something funny to do with them!”
He didn’t get the chance. Beckett died by suicide in 2018 at the age of 17. Ann and her
husband Paul Robson were determined to keep Beckett’s spirit and his untapped potential alive.
At first, they thought of a scholarship in his name. “But we didn’t want to just remember Beckett
once a year,” says Paul. “He was so giving every day. His journey was cut short, so The Beckett
Project is our way to continue it.”
Ann, Paul and their friends and family got to work raising funds for The Beckett Project holding
fun special events in pre-pandemic days including an improv night at Aeolian Hall. When
COVID-19 arrived, they pivoted to home delivery boxes such as Valentine’s Day charcuterie
boards. Through the proceeds raised from these events, they carefully chose to support
charities with a focus on mental health.
Along the way they connected with London Community Foundation. “That was a godsend,” says
Ann. “LCF gave us direction, support and credibility. Our fund is pretty small compared to some,
but they never made us feel that way.” Starting with a flow-through fund, Ann and Paul decided
to create a permanent endowment fund to provide greater long-term impact.
Two recent grants had special meaning for Ann and Paul. One supported National Service Dogs
(NSD), an organization that trains dogs to support people on the autism spectrum and living
with PTSD. Ann understands firsthand the therapeutic value of dogs: she adopted a puppy a
month after Beckett’s death. “She saved me,” Ann says.
Another grant went to Pflag, an organization that supports the LGBTQ2S+ community in
London. “We’re a very tolerant and empathetic family,” explains Paul. “We want to champion
tolerance, and this seemed like a good place to start.”
9Ann and Paul hope The Beckett Project can resume in-person activities in 2022. Ann would
like to do something fun involving rubber ducks, which have become the Project’s mascots.
One thing is certain: they will continue to honour Beckett’s precious life through kindness and
empathy. “When I do something nice for people, in the back of mind I know it’s because Beckett
is inspiring me,” says Paul.
10“ When I do something nice for people,
in the back of mind I know it’s because
Beckett is inspiring me.”

PEAR TREE FOUNDATION -
SAMANTHA JOEL AND
JAMES MARCHMENT
Honouring Resilience Across Four Generations,
Building Resilience Today
Samantha Joel and James Marchment are not your typical big-time philanthropists. They’re
young and early in their careers, and their fund is relatively small. And they’re just fine with that.
“It’s never too early to give back if you can. This is a great way to handle our giving, and over
time the fund will grow and become self-sustaining. Meanwhile, it’s nice to do some good now,”
explains Sam.
Sam and James created the fund when Sam’s mother, Bernadine Joel, died two years ago.
“Bernardine was a brilliant person, very charismatic,” says James. “She was full of energy
and joie de vivre.” She left home at 15, had Sam when she was 24, and then devoted herself
to ensuring that her daughter had the advantages she didn’t. Today, Sam is a professor of
psychology at Western University.
The fund also honors her grandmother, Marie Poirier, and great-grandmother, Alexandrine
Poirier (Poirier is French for pear tree). All three women overcame daunting challenges to make
good lives for their families. “I’m humbled when I think about the lack of opportunities that
they had, compared to what I’ve had,” says Sam. “The cycle of poverty and intergenerational
trauma is so hard to break. I want to pay it forward and help more families escape difficult
circumstances.”
Sam and James have always been thoughtful about their philanthropy. Working with LCF,
they’ve learned about smaller local charities that are having a real impact in the community.
“The fund enables us to make donations more strategically,” says Sam. “We’re able to
consolidate the money and invest a portion of it. And we get help from LCF about where to
send the money to do the most good.”
Recent grants from the flow-through portion of the fund have focused on organizations working
to prevent homelessness. “That’s important,” mentions James, whose brother struggled with
13homelessness and mental health issues. “Once someone ends up on the street, it’s difficult to get
off the street, unless they’re given an opportunity to improve their life.”

JUDITH AND
WILSON RODGER
Doing Philanthropy Responsibly: Judith and Wilson Rodger
Montreal native Judith Rodger moved to London with her husband, Dr. Wilson Rodger, when
he joined the faculty at Western University. Decades later she admits there was some culture
shock (“There were only a handful of restaurants in those days!”), but says the move was a good
one. “We’ve had really interesting lives here,” she says. “Because the city is smaller, it’s easy to
become involved in various community groups.”
She has certainly done that. As a volunteer at the city art gallery, Judith had an opportunity to
interact with art and artists as the London Regionalism movement led by Greg Curnoe and Jack
Chambers gathered steam. Eventually that experience led to a job at the London Regional Art
Gallery (LRAG) as director of public programmes, and then as chief curator. After her time with
LRAG, she spent several years working at the Art Gallery of Ontario and completing a master’s
degree in art history. She also chaired the LCF Board from 2002 to 2004.
Judith has spent decades making London and Middlesex County a more vibrant place – through
her volunteering and professional work, through a Community Fund honouring her late parents,
Mildred and Alexander Maclean, and also through the thoughtful granting she and Wilson
undertake each year with their Donor-Advised Fund.
Supporting the arts is a priority, along with many others – the environment, heritage, housing,
the injustices faced by Indigenous peoples locally and across Canada, and the Medical Global
Opportunities Award at Western, which Judith established in honour of Wilson’s 80th birthday to
help medical students gain international learning experience.
“Judith has the rare ability to keep the larger community picture in view, even as she works
with and supports specific projects,” says long-time friend and collaborator Madeline Lennon,
Professor Emerita, Department of Visual Arts, Western University. “I see connecting links across
the breadth of Judith’s work, and one is her deep care for the state of the community – in
London, in Ontario, and across Canada.”
A donation of stock in December 2019 helped fuel the Rodgers’ giving during COVID-19. “We
were able to double our funding for arts and environmental organizations,” says Judith. “The
arts always suffer in a downturn, but the pandemic has taught us how important they are to
sustaining our spirits.”
17Wilson and Judith have continued to support LCF throughout the pandemic, with additional flow-through giving to local charities selected in consultation with Foundation staff. Judith notes, “Rather than paying tax on half the capital gains, it makes sense to donate stocks. The team at LCF are very good at creating awareness and giving suggestions about where the greatest needs are.” She adds, “We’ve been very fortunate, and we feel we need to give back and support other people. It isn’t always easy doing philanthropy responsibly. I’ve learned a lot at LCF that continues to inform our giving.”
“We’ve been very fortunate, and
we feel we need to give back and
support other people.”

tape. You choose which charities to support each year and take advantage

Vision SoHo Alliance
First-of-its-kind Housing Partnership Fosters Community of Belonging
Nearly 6,000 Londoners are on the waitlist for social housing. With low vacancy rates, and rising rental
prices, a safe, adequate and affordable home is simply out of reach for too many in our community.
The Vision SoHo Alliance, a first-of-its-kind partnership between six local non-profit housing
developers, plans to help address this issue by building the single largest affordable housing
development in London’s history.
Convened by London Community Foundation, the Vision SoHo Alliance includes The Chelsea
Green Home Society, Homes Unlimited, Indwell, London Affordable Housing Foundation, Residenza
Affordable Housing, and Zerin Development Corporation.
22The goal is to address the shortage of affordable housing in the community by collaborating on
a mixed-income housing development on the former Victoria Hospital lands to enhance, honour
and celebrate the rich heritage of the SoHo community with beautifully designed, environmentally
friendly, affordable, and well-managed buildings.
The Alliance plans to build approximately 685 units total with at least 416 units being affordable.
The units will vary in affordability ranging from full market, to 80% of market rate, to deeply
affordable based on the Ontario Disability Support Program shelter rates. While each developer
will be responsible for their own unique building, the Alliance will work together to create
complementary designs and a unified vision. Working alongside the City of London, the Alliance
will expedite progress toward Mayor Ed Holder’s goal to build 3,000-units within five years.
“We’re so pleased to partner together with the City of London to help meet the demand for
affordable housing,” says Sylvia Harris, Chair of the Vision SoHo Alliance. “By working together,
we can act quickly to deliver the affordable housing units, increasing the availability of housing for
those who need it most.”

“ This collaboration is developed by the community for the
community. Led by local Londoners, volunteers and
charities, Vision SoHo is an innovative community-wide
response to one of our city’s most pressing social issues.”

Social Impact Fund: Reframe your giving as investing. By using a portion of LCF’s assets
as investment capital, the Social Impact Fund provides financing for affordable housing and
social enterprise projects that provide a return and generate positive change in the community.
23Vital Signs: Be the Change
LCF’s Vital Signs report challenges us all to take action in
tackling our community’s greatest issues
Over the past two years the social atmospheres in London and Middlesex, as well as across the
country, have shifted dramatically. Be it COVID-19 perpetuating issues like unemployment and the lack
of affordable housing, hyper-visual acts of racial violence, or the discovery of thousands of unmarked
graves at former residential school sites across the country - tides are shifting, and people are
becoming ever increasingly engaged.
We have witnessed a heightened public awareness of these issues and desire to take action. However,
as individuals, it can be difficult to know where to start.
Acknowledging that meaningful systemic change can only occur through collective action, Vital Signs
2021 acts as a resource for changemaking. Guided by local data and the expertise of local thought
leaders, the report provides a series of simple, accessible actions that can be taken anytime and
suggests local organizations and causes where further action can be continued.
“Awareness and education are important but we know that social change requires so much more
than just listening and learning,” says Dr. Jerry White, Vital Signs Chair & LCF board member. “The
pandemic has exacerbated many deeply entrenched inequalities and exposed enduring problems - it’s
time to be acting and not just talking.”
The 2021 report continues to focus on the six issue areas identified in 2020 as those that were
significantly impacted by the pandemic - housing, racial equality, gender equality, health and well-
being, education and food security.
New this year, LCF has launched the London Vital Signs Data Hub. Using the UN’s Sustainable
Development Goals as a framework, this data hub will act as a resource for citizens, non-profit
agencies and local government to help support advocacy efforts as well as evidenced-based program
and policy decision making.
“Good data is essential to informing social change,” says Dr. White. “By tracking social trends over
time we can use that information to make positive changes that benefit our community.”
The aim of Vital Signs is to create awareness of the issues facing our community and demonstrate
these problems touch us all. The takeaway message is that together, we have the power to shape the
future of our community. Change can’t wait any longer and we all play a role in making it happen.

24Anti-hate march in solidarity with London’s
Afzaal family following the June 6th attack
“ Our community is a different place than it was two years
ago. This report paints a picture of serious problems we’re
facing. But it’s not just about numbers, it calls upon us
all to take action and provides people with the tools to start
making social change.”
– Dr. Jerry White,
Vital Signs Chair & LCF board member
25LCF’s Strong Together Fund is dedicated to
nurturing an inclusive, hate-free community
Strong Together Fund
Building a community where hate has no place
On June 6, 2021 London witnessed firsthand what racist action looks like at its most extreme as
four members of the Afzaal family were killed in a tragic and violent act of Islamophobia. In response,
LCF established the Strong Together Fund, dedicated to healing and nurturing an inclusive hate-free
community. In short order, $237,029 was raised in support of London’s diverse Muslim communities.
“The outpouring of support from our community and from across the country was incredible – especially
in the wake of such a violent and stark reminder of the divisions that still exist in our city,” says Martha
Powell, LCF’s President & CEO. “We wanted to let London’s Muslim communities know that we hear
them, and we care about them.”
26LCF turned to the London Muslim Mosque and the Muslim Resource Centre for Social Support and
Integration (MRCSSI) for guidance and direction on allocating the funds. Safety and mental wellness
were identified as major concerns.
“We have heard from community members that they are concerned about attending mosque
programming, or even sending their children to school in the wake of the awful act committed on
June 6,” says Nader Abdelmajed, Operations Manager at the London Islamic School. “London Muslim
Mosque and the Muslim community at large are so grateful for LCF and their donors for this generous
grant – and for being there when we needed them.”
To help restore a sense of safety to congregants and community members, the London Muslim
Mosque was granted $114,825.52 to install new fences, gates and improved security systems at the
Mosque and Islamic School.
And while the Mosque ensures that London’s Muslim communities have a safe space to learn and
pray, MRCSSI was granted $122,203.48 to develop workshops and training programs to help combat
Islamophobia in our community.
“We are taking action to address Islamophobia and respond to the realities of racial trauma, which affects
all members of the Muslim community in profound ways,” says Sahar Atalla, Manager of Client Services
& Support Programs, MRCSSI. “Our aspiration is to foster healing in our community and continue
working together with community members and partners to challenge all forms of hate and harm.”
To all who donated to the Strong Together Fund – thank you. Your commitment to fostering a
safe and welcoming community for all is truly inspiring.
“Everyone deserves to live in safety. This attack, as
traumatic as it was, revealed the solidarity of the London
community – and its heartfelt desire to nurture a hate-free
and resilient city.”
– Sahar Atalla,
Manager of Client Services & Support Programs, MRCSSI
27Canada Healthy Communities Initiative - London Public Library
London Public Library helps bridge the digital divide
Having access to the internet is no longer a privilege - it’s a basic need. The digital divide has been
widening for many years now but the COVID-19 pandemic thrust this issue into sharp focus.
With the help of a grant from the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative (CHCI), the London Public
Library partnered with local community resource centres to narrow this gap by providing Wi-Fi hotspots
to residents in need.
Through the $31 million CHCI, the Government of Canada, alongside Community Foundations of
Canada and the Canadian Urban Institute, is building safer spaces and ensuring a higher quality of life
for people across the country by helping communities adapt to the challenges presented by COVID-19.
London Community Foundation co-led the South Western Ontario HUB with the Kitchener Waterloo
Community Foundation and the Windsor Essex Community Foundation, in partnership with various
other community foundations across the region 1. In total, the HUB was able to collaboratively facilitate
approximately $1.3 million in funding to 63 projects in Southwestern Ontario ($550,000 for 28 projects
in round one and $744,000 for 35 projects in round two).
A key criteria of this program is that projects must embody the principle of ‘nothing about us without
us,’ meaning solutions must include input from the groups they serve. Committed to engaging with
community partners to address inequities, the London Public Library empowered local resource
centres to identify the best use of the hot spot devices to meet the needs of the communities they
serve. Participating local resource centres included Crouch Neighbourhood Resource Centre, LUSO
Community Services, Northwest London Resource Centre, Glen Cairn Community Resource Centre and
the Neighbourhood Resource Centre of Westminster Park.
“The hotspot has saved me so much time and money not having to leave the house for all of my Ontario
Works appointments, it’s helping my mental health as well for not having to get on two buses each way
to arrive at the community centre,” says a local resource centre client.
The impact of the Wi-Fi hotspots has been transformational for many resource centre clients,
empowering them to thrive in other areas of their lives.

Partnering community foundations include the Aylmer Area Community Foundation, Sarnia Community Foundation and Sunset
Community Foundation. The South Western Ontario HUB also engaged Centre Wellington Community Foundation, Dufferin Community
Foundation, Elgin St. Thomas Community Foundation and Oxford Community Foundation.

& Michael Ciccone, CEO & Chief Librarian, London Public Library
“ We know the resource centres know their communities
best. The London Public Library has always been committed
to breaking down digital barriers but this initiative took it a
step further. By working with resource centres we were
able to proactively identify individuals and families in need
and increase accessibility to the devices.”

CEO & Chief Librarian, London Public Library

INVESTMENTS
The Foundation’s guiding principles continue to be focused on a commitment to capital preservation and steady income
growth. LCF, through the work of our Investment Committee, has established an Investment Policy Statement and
supporting investment program to ensure that investments generate total returns that allow LCF to meet its granting
objectives, recover operating costs, protect the purchasing power of the capital, and establish a reserve to protect the
Foundation from potential market declines.
The following were key highlights for 2021:
• A strong year in the equities & alternatives markets resulted in a total return of 15%. The LCF investment program in
2021 continued to be above our 10-year average total return target of 6.0%.
• The fixed income portfolio tasked with our capital preservation mandate per the Investment Policy Statement was
slightly negative for the year due to the rising interest rates’ impact on our bond fund.
• Our equities, both through our US and Canadian pooled funds, led our asset mix in terms of returns for 2021.
• Our investments in Canadian Real Estate reached our 10% target allocation, representing a diverse portfolio including
two pooled funds with separate investment managers with over 300 properties nationally diversified across
commercial, industrial and multi-residential properties.
ASSET ALLOCATION OF THE INVESTMENT FUND
LCF is a long-term investor and believes the asset mix, combined with value-added performance from our investment
managers, ensures we can continue to impact our community in a positive and meaningful way.

ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS
LCF continues to be focused on sound management and strong governance – pillars that support the
achievement of a healthy workplace where employees and volunteers thrive as a team and where resources
and expectations are aligned.
Operating costs as a percentage of average asset value has been commonly used by community
foundations as an indicator of efficiency. LCF continues to meet the benchmark for foundations of similar
asset size, being within the range of 1.0% to 1.5%.

SOCIAL IMPACT FUND
The Social Impact Fund is a social investment program that turns donations into capital loans for
community and non-profit groups. With access to funding that they typically couldn’t get from a bank,
groups can further their mission more efficiently and effectively.
In 2020 LCF made a significant commitment to the impact investing strategy, allocating up to $20 million
towards affordable housing. 2021 was another big year for the fund, as we provided financing to 6
projects, representing $5,037,500 in new loans.

COMMUNITY
VITALITY GRANTS
Building Connections: Community Vitality 2021
Community Vitality Grants are supported by generous donors who make
unrestricted donations to London Community Foundation and those who entrust
their giving to LCF in the form of a Community Fund – providing a permanent
source of community capital. This year, we’re pleased to announce almost $1
million in Community Vitality Grants to innovative projects that demonstrate a
commitment to collaboration and build community connections for greatest impact.
To all our donors – thank you for your foresight, compassion, and generosity! With
your support, we’re helping to address some of our community’s most critical needs.
Building Capacity
Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area
$51,056 over 1 year
For vulnerable children who may be experiencing adversity, a mentor can have a significant
positive impact on their social and emotional well-being as well as their future education and career
achievements. Big Brothers Big Sisters of London and Area will create a new staff position - a
Volunteer Coordinator - to address their volunteer intake bottleneck and eliminate the waitlist of
children in need of an adult mentor - which is especially important amid the added stressors of
the pandemic.
41Helping Arabic Newcomer Families with Different
Abilities to be Empowered (HAND2E)
Muslim Resource Centre for Social Support and Integration
$209,000 over 2 years
Whenever we have the honour of welcoming newcomers into our community, our city grows stronger
and more diverse, but the reality is this population faces a number of barriers upon their arrival including
language barriers, system navigation, housing and employment. These challenges are even greater for
families who have children with disabilities. The Muslim Resource Centre for Social Support and Integration
will implement the HAND2E project, which will support Arabic families that are struggling to access
supports and services for their differently-abled children due to cultural and language barriers – all while
working with local service providers to develop culturally informed ways to better serve Arabic families.

Cavendish Community Food Hub
Hutton House Association for Adults with Disabilities
$230,744 over 2 years
Hutton House Association for Adults with Disabilities will establish the Cavendish Community Food
Hub – a full-scale, accessible urban farm located in Cavendish Park in London’s Kensington Village
area on land provided by the City of London. With additional community partners like the Nathan T.
Deslippe Memorial Fund developing a model for indoor hydroponic gardens, Greenhouse Academy
providing greenhouse and landscaping training, and Beautiful Edibles assisting with programming, the
Cavendish Community Food Hub is a joint effort to address food insecurity in London through both
agriculture and education.
43Breaking the Cycle of Post-Incarceration Homelessness
John Howard Society of London and District
$300,000 over 2 years
For individuals exiting the criminal justice system, accessing safe and affordable housing is key to
successful reintegration and provides the foundation for them to start rebuilding their lives. John
Howard Society of London and District will help address post-incarceration homelessness by providing
emergency hotel stays alongside access to supports for reintegration including mental health, addictions,
basic-needs, system navigation and finding long-term housing solutions for individuals recently released
from custody who are facing homelessness – an under-served and often ignored population.

Tsi’thotuhutsya:te (The Creators Land) Community Healing Gardens Project
Yotuni Social Enterprise and Carolinian Canada
$200,000 over 2 years
For generations, Indigenous communities have been forced away from their land, culture and
traditions - and continue to experience the trauma of ongoing and historical injustices. That’s
why Yotuni Social Enterprise and Carolinian Canada will partner to create space for healing and
reconnection. Tsi’thotuhutsya:te (The Creators Land) Community Healing Gardens Project is a
social enterprise that will employ Indigenous youth to create gardening kits to be sold to community
members – enabling land-based wellness and learning at home with Indigenous food and plants.
