True North Aid
Organization Description
A Canadian registered charity with the mandate to provide practical humanitarian assistance through initiatives established on eight foundational stones of support, including self-determination, reconciliation, water, food, health, housing, culture, and education.
- Activities help to close the gap to the many inequities faced by people living in northern Indigenous communities.
- Projects are built upon self-determination efforts and community champions who seek ways to enrich and empower their communities with the goal to provide practical humanitarian support to northern and remote communities.
A flagship project of True North Aid is Moon Time Connections, a national Indigenous-led period equity group supporting Indigenous menstruators across Turtle Island by ensuring they have access to menstrual products, and by providing vital menstrual education.
- Founded in Saskatchewan in 2017 as Moon Time Sisters, Moon Time Connections has grown to include four chapters (Saskatchewan, Ontario, Manitoba and British Columbia); has partnered with over 150 northern Indigenous Communities in all provinces and territories; and has shipped over 4 million period products to high schools, elementary schools, midwifery organizations, health care centres, Friendship Centres, shelters, food banks and community programs in remote areas.
