Redwood acknowledges with gratitude the lands we live and build on. Please reflect with us below We are on the land of the Anishinaabe people. With gratitude and respect, and in a spirit of reconciliation, we honour the First Nations People who stewarded this land before us. We also acknowledge the many Metis, Inuit, and other First Nations people who call Simcoe Country home. In Indigenous culture, homelessness is not only defined as lacking a structure for habitation; it is more fully described and understood to include individuals, families and communities isolated from their relationships to land, water, place, family, kin, each other, animals, cultures, languages and identities. This more fulsome view of homelessness aligns with our goals at Redwood. It is our hope that each person in our community finds not only a structure for habitation but a home where they can reconnect with themselves and each other, where relationships are formed and strengthened, and where cycles of homelessness, in the fullest sense of the word, are broken.
