Navigating cancer can be overwhelming, but you do not have to walk this path alone. 

Join Wellspring Alberta’s Indigenous Cancer Sharing Circle, a safe and supportive space to connect with others, share experiences, and find strength in a supportive community. This monthly virtual gathering is for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis adults living in Alberta, whether you have been impacted by cancer yourself or through supporting a loved one. 

With a vision that no one has to face cancer alone, this sharing circle is co-led by an Elder or Knowledge Keeper and a Wellspring program leader.

Join us on the first Monday of every month from 2 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. MST. These sessions are virtual and open to all Indigenous Peoples.

Join the Métis Recovery and Wellness Advisory Committee (MRWAC)

The Otipemisiwak Métis Government is seeking Citizens to bring their voices, their wisdom, and their love in a meaningful way to serve our people.

We are forming the Métis Recovery and Wellness Advisory Committee (MRWAC) to ensure our services are designed by Métis, for Métis. Grounded in kinship and walking together, this Committee will guide culturally safe, distinctions-based care that honours who we are as a distinct Nation.

We are inviting:
• Elders and Knowledge Keepers
• Citizens with lived/living experience of recovery
• Métis Caregivers
• Métis Clinicians, Counselors, and Wellness Workers
• Métis Researchers and Data Specialists
• Youth Representatives

You do not need to be a policy expert. We need your life experience, your cultural knowledge, and your commitment to our people.

Your voice will guide:
• Culturally safe services rooted in a Métis worldview
• Data sovereignty that protects our Citizens
• Anti-racism and equity measures that work for us
• Land-based and traditional wellness models

Honoraria, travel, and protocol costs are provided. If forms or CVs feel like a barrier, reach out, we are here to support you.

Deadline to share your intention: April 29, 2026
Submit your Letter of Interest and CV (or community summary) by emailing: [email protected]

Summers are getting warmer in Alberta. In a recent survey, 95% of Citizens (625 out of 658 applicable respondents) shared that they had been impacted by extreme heat.

To help Citizens feel safer this summer, the Environment and Climate Change Department is offering eligible Otipemisiwak Métis Government Citizens across Alberta the opportunity to receive a heat response kit. The kit includes a portable AC unit as well as other materials and resources to keep you and your home cool and energy efficient during heat waves.

To be eligible for a kit, you must be:
- Aged 60+
- A registered Otipemisiwak Métis Government Citizen
- Residing in Alberta

Due to popular demand, registration will now close on April 26, 2026. Recipients will be selected through a randomized draw.

For more information about how to respond to extreme heat and to apply for a heat response kit, please refer to albertametis.com/heat-response-program or email [email protected]
