Commissioner's update for offenders and their families: May 13, 2024
The Moose Hide Campaign, on May 16, is an Indigenous-led grassroots movement aimed at engaging men and boys in ending violence towards women and children. Over the past decade, it has evolved into a nationwide movement uniting Indigenous and
non-Indigenous Canadians. The campaign, grounded in Indigenous ceremony and tradition, symbolizes a commitment to honour, respect, and protect women and children. It also serves as a poignant reminder of the impacts of Residential Schools. I encourage you to reflect on this important day and what it means.
At CSC we offer many programs that can help you learn valuable social and employable skills that will benefit you upon your return to the community. I am proud of these programs as they have proven to contribute to successful community reintegration. I encourage you to take advantage of these programs. To learn more, speak with your case management team.
Like I have done in past notes, I encourage you to set two or three positive, realistic, and attainable goals for yourself to learn something new. Write them down on paper and put it in a visible place to remind yourself of these goals. Remember, you reach a goal not by seeing it as a large mountain to climb but as tiny steps along the way that help you get there – it’s a journey, one day at a time.
If you have a story to tell about reaching your goals or a person or event that had a positive impact on you at CSC, I would like to hear about it.
Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. — Dalai Lama XIV
