On September 30, we will walk, run and be together. 🧡

This day is about more than wearing orange. It is a day to honour Survivors, remember the children who never returned home, acknowledge the ongoing impacts of residential schools, and continue the work of Truth and Reconciliation.

Every step is an opportunity to remember, to learn, and to move forward together.

Orange shirts will be available to purchase and they are $30 and unique medals will be available for $10 for participants.

🧡 Every Child Matters.
🧡 September 30
🧡 Everyone is welcome.

Your birth experience is a journey—and knowing what to expect can make all the difference.

Join us for a supportive, hands-on session led by a Birth and Postpartum Doula, where you’ll gain practical knowledge and tools to help you feel ready for birth and beyond.

• Learn what to expect during labor, birth, and delivery
• Explore hands-on techniques and comfort measures
• Learn practical ways to prepare for labor
• Build confidence in your birth choices and decisions
• Gain helpful, realistic guidance for the postpartum period

Leave feeling informed, confident, empowered, and ready to meet your birth experience with greater peace of mind.
