The Inclusive City Cafes will provide a safe and welcoming space for community members to discuss the challenges and opportunities of living in a diverse community and to start to explore how we can become a healthier and more inclusive City. The Café was initiated in the fall of 2015.

When we speak about aboriginals in Canada all we can think about is their strength and resilience as they were faced with a Government that did not listen to their needs but shunned them and forced them out of their own homes, family, language and culture. The Indian Act allowed the federal government to have control of their lands but despite the fact that they were willing to negotiate they were denied their right to vote. Even though there has been some changes there is still a lot to be done.
