GroupHEALTH is proud to announce that we have partnered with the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund in our Legacy Spaces Program.
Inspired by Chanie’s story and Gord’s call to build a better Canada, the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund aims to build cultural understanding and create a path toward reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Learn more about Chanie Wenjack’s residential school story here.
Our partnership with the Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund in the Legacy Spaces Program serves as a reminder of the important work that must be done in continuing the conversation about the past, present, and future of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
Our dedicated Legacy Space is located at our office in South Surrey, BC. Our Legacy Space is designed to foster a welcoming and safe space to promote conversation amongst Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples alike. Our legacy Space features a one-of-kind mural, titled “In Good Hands”, designed and painted by artist Amanda Hugon.
“In Good Hands” depicts Mother Earth holding herself up encompassed by the many facets of nature: land, mountains, water, and trees. Each component of the mural has an important meaning, and features Coast Salish elements throughout.
