Boyle Street Community Services, established in 1971, operates in balance, harmonizing Indigenous ways of knowing and being and non-Indigenous ways for the benefit of the people we serve. We walk alongside people of all ages and culture who experience the deepest forms of exclusion in our society; walking in relationship with those who are excluded, creating connections and pathways to miyo-pimatisiwin (the good life).
We have created spaces that provide a set of core services in health, basic needs, keeoukaywin (visiting), culture and ceremony, housing, and reunification of kin. When grounded in relationship, connection and ceremony, our work supports people to share their gifts, build capacity, give voice to their spirit, have safety, and ultimately belong.
