Kukwstsétsemc! Such a pleasure to partner with you A Way Home Kamloops!

What a wonderful surprise this week! 💛

We’re grateful to the team at Secwepemc Child & Family Services for the thoughtful gifts, shared as a thank you for hosting the SCFS Youth Action Committee meetings at Katherine’s Place.

Katherine’s Place continues to be a welcoming and central space that makes it easier for youth to connect, engage, be heard, and we’re always happy to open our doors for work that truly matters.

We’re proud to partner with SCFS in supporting youth in our community and look forward to continuing this meaningful collaboration.

Kukwstsétsemc to you all!

We had a blast this past weekend hosting our Me7 Mestentsút-kt es Twítentem (We Will Do Our Best to Raise Our Children) Parenting Conference. We treated parents to wellness treatments, inspirational speakers, bingo, rock n roll trivia, and plenty of pampering.
The weekend was capped off by a unique gift to all attendees from our amazing Cultural Integration Team -- a combination rattle and drum. Created by Team Leader Lyle Thomas, the rattle/drum when gently shaken is meant to mimic the sound heard during an ultrasound.
After handing them out to everyone in attendance, we all stood to sing as one, backed by the gentle sounds of the drum/rattles.
Kukwstsétsemc to everyone who attended and kukwstsétsemc to the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre for hosting our event!

Our SCFSA Winter Gathering Pow-Wow was another grand success this year as we once again gathered at the Sandman Centre on the last weekend of January. The numbers of dancers grew again this year -- to 286 -- and the number of drum groups swelled to 15.

There were a variety of crafts for sale from a wide array of vendors, and we were once again blessed with the presence of Dr. Cindy Blackstock, our tireless advocate for Indigenous children and families. We were also pleased to have Nancy Bepple, Kamloops City Councillor from the City of Kamloops - Municipal Government as well as Kukpi Rosanne Casimir from Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc in attendance and on the mic to share words of encouragement and praise.

Kukwstsétsemc to all who attended and participated!
