Regina, Saskatchewan Established in 2023 The yard of Westminster United Church in downtown Regina, Saskatchewan, is being reimagined as a space for ceremony and reflection. A path, seating circle, wall mural and native plants have been added to the space, under the canopy of mature elm trees, with many things to come.

Regina, SK In 2017, NHFI founders Patricia Stirbys and Peter Croal spent an amazing day with students and teachers in Regina, Saskatchewan. Organized by Vivian Gauvin, the event included students from schools in Moose Jaw and Regina. Students created drawings that ultimately inspired the creation of the National Healing Forests logo.

Northern Saskatchewan Established in 2024 The kâmwâtanahk Land-based Learning Lab is situated on 160-acres of rolling forested hills, wetlands, native prairie, and organically farmed land in the Aspen Parkland Ecoregion, about an hour's drive north from Saskatoon, SK. Reconciliation is at the heart of our work, providing safe, natural spaces for healing and relationship building between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. We also believe that reconciling our relationship with the land, and reconciling different ways of knowing (i.e., Indigenous and Scientific), are vital as we work together to build a more equitable, sustainable, and regenerative future for all. We host day trips and multi-day camps for school groups, the public, and other community organizations, and work with numerous community partners to enhance the learning opportunities we are able to provide. We recently partnered with Techa Oaye (an Indigenous Youth organization) to establish a ceremonial site run by the Kimimila Ska Wi Wangwacipi Society. We have also partnered with One School One Farm to engage high school students in establishing an ecobuffer that will shelter the ceremonial site, and this spring will be working with the Redberry Lake Biosphere Reserve to restore the ceremonial site to native prairie, including medicinal plants that will be used in our ceremonies. In May we will be hosting a hide preparation camp for the Marcelin Métis Local (#113) and will be hosting a plant medicine camp later this summer as well.
