Elder Jackie Bromley, Lance Cardinal, and a few staff and board members joined us for an intimate and sacred blessing of the Wellness Room and Mural.

Rachelle is a single mom and Onward tenant who has persevered through hardship for the sake of her daughter’s future.

Many amazing stories of tenant strength, courage, and determination live within the walls of Onward’s affordable homes. One such tenant, Denise, has agreed to share her remarkable story with us.

Marilyn Shingoose, an Onward tenant, is a proud First Nations Elder from Cote Band, Treaty 4. Although she never learned to speak her native language, she tells us wistfully her name in Saulteaux is Colourful Sky.
