To provide practical humanitarian support to northern and remote Indigenous communities in Canada.
Many Indigenous peoples who live in the most remote regions of the country experience an extreme lack of access to essential and affordable resources. In addition, Indigenous peoples experience ongoing negative impacts of forced assimilation, restrictive policies, and displacement. Examples include residential schools, intergenerational trauma and many other policies under the Indian Act 1876. Therefore, Indigenous peoples in Canada face striking inequities in health and wellness outcomes, education, food, economic sovereignty and housing security, particularly those living in northern and remote communities.
True North Aid believes that Indigenous self-governance and self-determination are key to addressing these inequities and empowering Indigenous peoples to build a brighter future.

“I have learned that anything is possible all you have to do is dream and ask. True North Aid has been a godsend to our community.”
We are inspired by the vital humanitarian support that True North Aid provides to northern Indigenous communities, and Richardson Wealth is honoured to support this charity’s bold mission.
