Family Programs

Cree for “welcome, we’ve made space for you here.”
The Tawaw Family Resource Networks (East and West) use a hub-and-spoke model of service delivery to offer a range of early intervention and prevention services that are grounded in Indigenous culture and teachings. This includes Cree and Blackfoot language instruction, singing and drumming.

Cree for “families coming together.”
Nitsanak Mamawintowak provides parents, babies and their young children with home-based parenting support and education from Indigenous and western perspectives. The program includes facilitated groups, created with participant contribution, to help families learn about parenting, resources, and culture while creating natural supports and building community.

In April 2026, a partnership between HomeSpace, Inn From The Cold and Miskanawah came together to open a 52-unit affordable housing project for Indigenous and Newcomer families in Whitehorn, Calgary. The Whitehorn Family Project includes family housing and shared indoor and outdoor spaces that support community programming and activities. Within the partnership, Miskanawah provides culturally-based supports and services to Indigenous residents, including access to Land-based healing, that promote family stability, cultural connection, and the overall well‑being of participants.
