Weaving Roots is a grassroots not-for-profit organization created to elevate, empower, collaborate and build trusting and mutually beneficial relationships with Indigenous communities throughout Canada.
Vision: Enhance Indigenous wellness throughout Canada. Mission: To provide charity in the form of education, training, and community wellness initiatives, primarily for Indigenous Peoples and their communities throughout Canada
We endeavor to accomplish our mission through community engagements focused on Indigenous well-being be it emotional, physical, spiritual, environmental and/or infrastructure supports. We want to create opportunities for educating and training Indigenous peoples to gain employment in several fields including in the fields of non-destructive testing (NDT), environmental services, professional services, and red seal trades.
As we build our foundation, we intend to establish multiple initiatives in support of our vision including
the creation of a bursary program for Indigenous youth ending their high school careers wishing to enter
the workforce and practical “on the job” training and mentoring opportunities.
As we grow as will our initiatives, if you would like more information about the Weaving Roots
Foundation, please feel free to reach out.
Our Indigenous Education Bursary Program supports predominantly First Nation, Inuit and Métis students across Canada by providing financial assistance to help them in their quest for education that leads to more equitable occupations.
