Our Response

Mississippi Mills All My Relations is a group of community members who recognize that we all have a responsibility to help restore what was once a relationship of trust and friendship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous People in our country. 

We have a core planning council of about twelve members as well as a number of other volunteers who work together to provide Indigenous led educational events, offer opportunities for reflection and growth and raise funds for Indigenous organizations working towards our shared goal. Larry McDermott, member and Elder of Shabot Obaadjiwan, provides guidance and advice to our group.

From time to time we offer experiential opportunities which help us reflect on our own thoughts and feelings as we participate in the Truth and Reconciliation process.  These have taken the form of talking circles, blanket exercises, movie nights and the vigils. 

We are not separately incorporated nor do we have charitable status. St. Paul’s Anglican Church initiated our group and provided a start up fund to create this website and to hold our first events.  It continues to provide space for us to meet, support us financially, hold our funds in trust and include us under their insurance policy.
