Colwood daycare will emphasize connecting with Indigenous culture
An Indigenous-focused, trauma-informed daycare in Colwood will allow young children to reconnect with their culture.
“We want to help people heal and be proud of who they are,” said Kendra Gage, Hulitan Family and Community Services Society Executive Director.
There has been a lot of trauma for the Indigenous communities in Canada, with colonization and residential schools being front of mind for many, said Gage.
