March 19, 2024 — Gibimishkaadimin is looking for 10 Indigenous youth from across Canada and 10 non-Indigenous youth from Southern and Eastern Ontario to participate in a reconciliation canoe trip this summer. Gibimishkaadimin (Gib-EE-mish-KA-dim-IN) is an Anishinaabemowin word representing “Paddling together by boat” and is the name of a reconciliation and relationship building opportunity for youth. This trip began over 5 years ago as an intentional youth reconciliation project between three United Churches in Toronto and is now a part of Indigenous Ministries and Justice and the General Council of the United Church. The purpose of this trip is for youth to participate in collaborative and experiential learning through an Indigenous perspective. Gibimishkaadimin seeks to provide youth with the opportunity to foster relationships with each other, the land and the water during a canoe trip in northern Ontario. SEE POSTER
