September is fast approaching, and for students across the country, it’s that time of year to get new backpacks and school supplies. But for students living in northern and remote communities, this isn’t so easy. Help us support Indigenous education by giving a gift today!
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.

“It is truly remarkable that there are organizations like True North Aid that take the time and dedication to seek and secure support for northern communities such as us.”
“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.
