Creating Cultural Connections

Street-involved Edmontonians are diverse, with a disproportionate number self-identifying as Indigenous. We believe that the diversity of these communities is a strength, rather than a complicating factor for our work. 

Indeed, there are many shared narratives about wellbeing across cultural groups. Most agree that wellbeing goes beyond meeting basic material needs, and focus on relationships and connectedness. 

So we are taking steps to create physically and psychologically-safe spaces that provide avenues for people to bring their cultures and ways of being to bear on what a transformed city looks, feels, and acts like.
