Gewkwaadziwin Miikan
July 2022 we did a road trip to Manitoulan Island and met
with Matt Maracle, the Director of Operations for Gewkwaadziwin Miikan (Gwek) to deliver a cheque for $3,110 from the proceeds of the charity auction we had earlier in the year.
It's a great program supporting Indigenous persons with mental health and addiction struggles.

‘We change what we must’: Newmarket artist’s orange T-shirt
Keith Gattie is the artist behind an orange shirt campaign which sold through a Newmarket-based company Revolution Now. The language on the front is Anishanaabemowin, the native language which loosely translates to "We Change What We Must".
