We launched ‘The Hand-Me-Down Project’ last spring with the goal of supporting healthy ageing, celebrating diversity, and promoting inclusion through intergenerational mentoring and engagement.
101 Deweguns Project was the last Hand-Me-Down program, which brought together Indigenous elders and local teens with wood-burning sessions to honour those children who didn’t return home from residential schools. All three sessions were a success where teens assembled and designed Drums, strykers, and Drum bags that will travel all across Canada to bring healing and Truth and Reconciliation through the arts.
Thank you to all who participated in the Hand-Me-Down Project:
- We offered 22 programs, ranging from knitting, bookbinding, money management, Urdu 101, Tai Chi, and more!
- We had 231 teen program participants and 11 seniors who led the sessions from November 2022-March 2023
