Men's Group is hosted as a collaboration between local organizations and First Nations Bands to offer programs and services for our First Nations men.
The Men's Group Wellness Conference aims to create a safe space for men to network, share stories, and foster personal growth. By engaging with leaders, mentors, organizations, and knowledge keepers, participants can enhance their cultural skills and perspectives.
Through wellness workshops, circles, and networking, attendees can build confidence, develop new skills, and expand their professional networks. We encourage men to bring their peers to cultivate a supportive environment where individuals can learn and grow together. These opportunities not only promote personal development but also contribute to a community of motivated and empowered individuals, ultimately leading to becoming better versions of themselves.
