Bawaajigewin Innovation and Creation Champion

Bawaajigewin is honoured to have been the successful organization to earn The Innovation and Creation Award. Thank you to the Arts, Culture and Heritage Awards Programs City of Oshawa.

The recent confirmation of children’s remains on the site of the Kamloops Indian Residential School has been as a stark reminder of the terrible pain inflicted upon Indigenous peoples by the Canadian government and the Catholic, Anglican, United, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches during the settlement of Canada. This pain is not history- for Onkwehón:we across the country this announcement has brought to the surface distressing personal and/or intergenerational memories and has forced people to confront and consider trauma on terms other than their own.

A Place To Heal:
