Indigenous Community

Many Coalition member agencies work with and serve, members of the Indigenous community. We work in cooperation with communities in areas of concern where coordinated efforts are required to meet the needs of Indigenous children, youth and families across Simcoe County.

Indigenous Community Development

In Simcoe County, the Barrie Area Native Advisory Council (BANAC) serves as a regional social health and planning organization to support Indigenous community development in the areas of child care, health planning, social development, and support to seniors and families.

Truth & Reconciliation

״We may not get it right initially the first few times but I think we will learn from our experience and I think that we should not give up on ensuring that our days of honouring those who were involved in residential schools and our acknowledgement of the nature of the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in this country has come to an end, must come to and end, and that we will recommit on September 30 to having a better relationship with each other. It’s like renewing our vow that we put into the treaties.״
