About Us | Creating Hope Society of Alberta

Our Story & Mission

“An Indigenous Home for Every Indigenous Child in Care”

Our Mission

To provide support and advocacy for Indigenous families, ensuring that every child remains connected to their culture, community, and kin. We strive to break the cycles of the past through healing and empowerment.

Our Vision

A future where Indigenous children grow up surrounded by the strength of their heritage, where families are whole, and where the spirit of reconciliation guides every step of the journey.

Learning Our History

Creating Hope Society was born out of a deep necessity to address the impacts of the Sixties Scoop and the ongoing challenges faced by Indigenous families within the child welfare system.

Since our inception, we have been a voice for the voiceless—advocating for legislative change while providing hands-on support for parents and youth. Our history is one of resilience, rooted in the belief that healing comes from cultural reconnection.

Who We Are

Creating Hope Society is a non-profit society established to recognize that the sixties and seventies child welfare scoop of Aboriginal children is a continuation of the Residential Schools era. We believe that it is time to halt the cycle of Aboriginal children being separated from their families and communities.

Why We Are Doing This

Creating Hope Society is carrying forward a healing process, commenced for Residential School survivors, to those who are products of a Child Welfare system that has perpetuated the legacy of the Residential Schools.

Mission

We create hope for positive change, mend hearts, and contribute to reconciliation through healing the impacts of intergenerational trauma and reconnecting with culture and community.

Vision

A safe and just society for all Indigenous Peoples.
