This program is a love letter to the people in our eight communities who have been left behind again, and again.

 

Created from the most passionate and kind people of our nation, Mino Bimaadizidaa was created to help participants connect with themselves, their traditional culture, and rebuild their lives in four phases 

 

Mino Bimaadizidaa takes a total of three years to complete. At the end of their journey, participants are able to honour their gifts through their employment and walk the good life with a peaceful spirit and knowing that they have the skills, knowledge, confidence, and connection with their traditional ways.

 

We spoke with our amazing facilitators about why they pour their heart, souls, and spirits into this program. They believe that hosting the program on a full-time schedule allows the participants to bond with their facilitators, spirit-to-spirit and rebuild trust where it has been broken by service providers in the past.

 

Mino Bimaadizidaa is about meeting clients where they are in their lives, no matter what barriers they have to living a good life. We believe that the group environment helps support participants in their journey.

 

Mino Bimaadizidaa is an ever-evolving program. Participants contribute through the knowledge and lived experiences they share during the program. A big part of rebuilding the path of life is learning to define your own wins.
