In July of 2024, Lisa, our Operations Manager, along with two representatives from Silk & Snow, travelled to Bloodvein River First Nation in Manitoba to help with the delivery and set up of brand new bed sets. Bloodvein River First Nation received the bed sets including a bed frame, mattress, mattress protector, sheets and a pillow, through our program, A Good Night’s Sleep. Please enjoy this video highlighting our trip beautifully created by Silk & Snow’s, Reynard Li.
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.

“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.
