The Brenda Strafford Foundation


Heart Home Network

Volunteers are not paid- not because they're worthless- but because they're priceless.

Mission Statement

We support people at risk who have experienced family violence to live safely and successfully in our community.  

Volunteer Team Mission:

“To go above and beyond to help residents feel part of a safe and welcoming community”

 

 

 

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, The Brenda Strafford Centre wishes to honour and acknowledge Moh’kinsstis and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy: Siksika, Kainai, Piikani as well as the Iyarhe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina nations. We acknowledge that this territory is home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.  Finally, we acknowledge all Nations, indigenous and non, who live, work and play and help us steward this land, honour and celebrate this territory.

 

This sacred gathering place provides us with an opportunity to engage in and demonstrate leadership on reconciliation. Thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment to join our team on the lands of Treaty 7 territory.
