The Anglican Church Healing Fund was established in 1991. The Healing Fund’s overall goal has been to support community based and culturally based community healing initiatives. The Healing Fund provides financial support to groups working to overcome the legacy of the residential school system and other consequences of assimilation policies; such as, the lost of language and culture.

• Healing services: healing circles, sharing circles, counseling, on-the-land cultural based activities • Education and Awareness: activities aimed at raising awareness of the impacts of the residential school system, history if the residential schools, traditional and cultural knowledge, history of nation • Conferences/Gatherings/Reunions: includes workshops, speakers, presenters, ceremonies • Training – enhancing community capacity & skills to address needs and issues • Language – translation, language programming, curriculum development • Resource Development – community resource, documenting history, remembrance, curriculum development, etc. • Relationship Building – building relationships and /or partnerships between Indigenous and non- Indigenous peoples.
