We had a wonderful time visiting Greater Gatineau Elementary School to teach our Métis Music, History, and Culture workshop for students from Kindergarten to Grade 6.

Y4Y Canada recently travelled to Mallorytown to facilitate a bannock-making workshop with students at Front of Yonge Elementary School. Throughout the day, we led four workshop sessions with approximately 27 students in each group, reaching students from Kindergarten to Grade 6.

There is something special about spending time with horses on the land. Recently, we had the opportunity to bring youth together for a land-based horsemanship workshop that combined Indigenous teachings, hands-on learning, and meaningful connections with animals.

We recently had the opportunity to visit Broadview Public School to facilitate a beadwork-inspired dot art workshop with a group of enthusiastic Grade 4 students.

We spent the day at the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition’s 2026 Children & Youth Pow Wow at the EY Centre. It was a powerful gathering that brought together Indigenous families, youth, and community members to celebrate in spaces where culture lives and grows.

At Youth4Youth Canada, we care deeply about creating spaces where culture is not only talked about, but experienced through mind, body, heart, and spirit   

The Youth4Youth Canada team had the pleasure of performing at the 2026 ISET National Gathering — a national event focused on Indigenous skills, employment training, sharing best practices, and building connections among Indigenous service organizations from all over Canada.

We were honoured to be invited to the Indigenous Women’s Arts Conference 2025 as both performers and vendors. This gathering brings together Indigenous women from urban, rural, and on- and off-reserve communities, and it has grown into an important space for culture, learning, and empowerment. Since 2019, the conference has welcomed more than a thousand visitors and supported over 50 Indigenous women artists and educators. It felt powerful to be part of that circle.

We were honoured to bring our Kîšâc dancers to Gloucester’s 175th anniversary celebration at the beautiful Billings Estate National Historic Site. Hosted by the Gloucester Historical Society, the afternoon was all about community, history, and celebration.

Youth4Youth Canada had the opportunity to share the beauty of Indigenous dance with over 150 young campers aged 3 to 16 at Stonehaven Community Church. The day was filled with joy, learning, and creativity, thanks to the warm welcome we received from Camp Director Gwen, her husband Pastor Kaleb, and their enthusiastic son Cory.
