about us
We are artists, chefs, caterers, matriarchs, activists, knowledge keepers, storytellers, teachers, and we are the definition of strength.
We are determined to stand together to support each other in friendship, love and freedom. Our cultures give us strength and together our voices are strong. Our connection is strengthened by our strong bonds and loyalty to each other, and we are committed to fairness and equality.
As a circle we value the confidence we have when we come together to share, celebrate, and support each other. Together we give each other strength, build up each other’s faith in our abilities, and encourage each other to speak and share. We offer friendship, support, empathy, gratitude and hold one another’s joy and grief.

About the project:
The Women’s Poverty Reduction Circle is an initiative that is funded by Women and Gender Equity Canada. The goal is to develop a grassroots, locally based anti-poverty strategy that supports economic interdependence among women who have experienced poverty and systemic barriers.
One of the aims of the project is to draw from traditional knowledge systems and non-Western ways of knowing to generate cross-cultural dialogue and information sharing.
