Kackaamin: Grandfathers', Uncles, Caregivers'

1-2 Week Program

This program explores the traditional Indigenous roles of Men in our families and communities. Programming will address multi-generational trauma stemming from the Residential School Legacy.
Participants are asked to refrain from any and all drug and alcohol use during programming. Healing will be based on Traditional culture and ceremony- participants’ need to have a clear mind and spirit to connect with the Creator and Ancestors.

This year's Grandfathers' program has been cancelled (dated March 17 - 21, 2025).

Please see Rebuilding the Circle's Men's Healing Program if you are interested in attending a Men's Healing gathering.

Please note this is different from the Rebuilding the Circle (RTC) Grandfathers' program, which supports healing from trauma surrounding sexual harm (see RTC program page for more info).
