Changes in behaviour, physical appearance and relationships with family & friends can be signs that someone may be a victim of human trafficking.
If you suspect someone is being trafficked, know where to get help: ontario.ca/page/anti-human-t…

Great video by @NHS. SARS-CoV-2 virus can linger in the air we breathe like second-hand smoke! Opening windows/doors for just a few minutes at a time can disperse the virus to improve air quality. Find out more ways to clear the air ➡️ canada.ca/en/public-health/s…
If you're meeting friends and family at home, reduce the chances of catching and spreading #COVID19 by opening a window to help disperse virus particles.
Opening a window for just 10 minutes every hour significantly lowers the level of COVID-19 particles indoors.
I’m honoured to accept this new leadership role, safe & affordable housing is a critical need in our communities I couldn’t think of a better organization to volunteer my time with & build on the foundation of the previous leadership! ontarioaboriginalhousing.ca/…

What did Indigenous women want out of the National Inquiry?
Indigenous women, families and survivors have all stated that any plan or action must begin by focusing on Indigenous women’s safety.

Delaying 2nd dose is wrong. Don’t forget it’s everyone in phase 1 being impacted RN the most vulnerable & essential workers & now we are dealing with variants. We should wait for vaccine supply the risk for future generations is not worth it + no informed consent
1/ To delay 2nd doses of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines (like the UK, Germany, & Canada)?

Or not to delay?

That is the question.
We are honoured to continue to do this work. Our goal is to create pathways to safety through provincial coordination
“This announcement today will begin to address the gaps in services that Indigenous women & girls are facing. We have a right to live free from violence. It takes a community to create change and create pathways to #safeSPACES.” – ONWA ED

Through Ontario's new Indigenous Women's Advisory Council, we are ensuring that the steps we take to end violence against women are culturally-relevant, accessible, & truly reflect the voices of Indigenous communities across Ontario. news.ontario.ca/mirr/en/2020… @_ONWA_ @GregRickford

Watch Video: business.facebook.com/118905…
The team at the Ontario Native Women's Association (ONWA) are here to support community. In this "How To" video, Tina shows us how to properly wash our hands.
Let's address lateral violence we need to stop shaming, judging, attacking and reflect why think this is acceptable behaviour words hurt people just as bad as COVID stop the hate and #BeKind
Indigenous women continue to lead us on the frontline as they hold our world together please take a moment each day to honour Indigenous women Miigwetch for continuing to #BeKind #SheIsWise
Across Ontario, our shelters remain open so that those fleeing violence have the support they need to keep themselves and their families safe. Associate Minister @JillDunlop1 recognizes the hard work and dedication of those working on the frontlines who have made this possible.

Health Minister @PattyHajdu, on the importance of #PhysicalDistancing.
“If we all stopped moving for two weeks & nobody talked to anybody for two weeks & we just stayed put, in fact we would see this virus die. That is the reality” #COVID19
