The goal of this program is to focus on repairing the harm caused by inter-generational trauma within the family unit by using traditional healing techniques.

Gift Lake’ Community Safety Plan committee will reconvene to refresh the previously developed Community Safety Plan, inform the community, revitalize the Metis Block Parent and Community Safety Group and deliver planned activities related to the reduction of crime and safety issues associated with alcohol, violence and the use/sale of drugs. The ultimate goal is to ensure that members who volunteer to be part of the block parents and the community safety group are well equipped and prepared and that their safety is not put in danger while doing their duties.

This 27-month project will use a logic model for social change and evaluation to support Gender-Based Violence (GBV) survivors and their families through film and online media. Carrier Sekani Family Services Society will achieve this by creating 10 short films of women and girls who live in communities along the Highway of Tears who will tell their stories and share wisdom on themes such as healthy relationships, cultural practices and their life experiences addressing gender-based violence and discrimination. The films will be used to highlight specific Calls for Justice to challenge and reverse negative stereotypes towards Indigenous women and girls and their communities. For broader reach and impact, a social media campaign will strategically connect the content of each film to the corresponding Calls for Justice.

This project will engage GBV survivors, ensuring all aspects of the project activities are trauma-informed and survivor-led from production to screening. The impact of this logic model for social change and evaluation will also be assessed through a third-party evaluation, including its potential to be adapted and replicated.

By the end of the project, Carrier Sekani Family Services Society will have developed a promising practice and will have shared it with the wider GBV sector, to further strengthen supports to Indigenous population of GBV survivors and their families in Canada.

This 8-month project will provide safety and supports for women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA in Winnipeg. This will be achieved through increasing capacity to ensure the space is open 24/7. The space is low barrier and culturally safe and offers Elder supports, cultural programming, basic needs support, access to washrooms, and a safe place to rest for all women who are experiencing domestic and street violence.

Swarmio’s Ember Hub platform is built on a distributed microservice architecture that exposes a GraphQL API through a federated gateway for flexibility and efficiency.

As traffic on the platform increases, response times and throughput become greater concerns. Horizontal platform scaling can improve performance to a degree, but implementation of a caching layer is almost always required in modern application deployments at scale. Standard HTTP caching does not suffice in this case.

This initiative will allow the Ember Hub platform to serve significantly higher user counts, increasing responsiveness while reducing infrastructure costs.
