Welcome everyone to our first blog post of 2023. It’s safe to say the new year is a time to focus on our intentions for the coming year. For some people that might mean setting goals and making changes, but we also hope people are just being intentional about trying to be our best selves, whatever that might mean today.
December was a busy month for everyone, but we have a few highlights to share. In Canso we held a Peer Circle evening to share the meaning of cooking and food to our culture and individually. We shared recipes and then made some Italian Pizzelles. It was a great evening.
The Kwanza celebration at the UBT hall in December was a community event that included music, food, gifts and the practice of the 7 Kwanza Principles. Pictured here are Gabriel Sparks and Remy Chisholm.


Women in Richmond County gathered to learn more about Parenting Safe Children, a program offered to communities and service providers throughout the region in November and December.
