Community Events & Programs
Community events and programs at the Niagara Regional Native Centre are more than just gatherings—they are opportunities to strengthen the bonds within our Indigenous community and to celebrate our rich cultural heritage. From traditional ceremonies to cultural workshops and youth programming, each event is designed to bring people together, fostering a sense of belonging and shared purpose.
These events, along with our ongoing programs, serve as vital touchpoints where community members can connect, learn, and grow together. Whether it’s a fundraiser, a social, a Pow Wow, or a youth-led activity, our offerings are tailored to all ages and interests, ensuring that everyone has a chance to participate and contribute. Programs like the Youth Sweat Lodge and the Bond and Bloom Picnic Series create spaces for intergenerational exchange, where elders pass down wisdom, and younger members engage in cultural practices that affirm their identity.
Participating in community events and programs also provides an opportunity to engage with Indigenous culture in meaningful ways. Through storytelling, music, art, and dance, we celebrate our traditions while also creating new memories and experiences. These events and programs are a testament to the resilience and vibrancy of our community, providing a platform for healing, learning, and unity.
By attending or volunteering at our community events, you play an essential role in sustaining and enriching the cultural fabric of our community. Your involvement helps us continue to offer these valuable experiences, ensuring that our traditions are preserved and passed on to future generations.
