About
The orange ribbons on the historic grounds of Erchless Estate were tied by the community under the Corn Moon on September 7. They stand as a collective reminder of the children who were taken.
Guided by Grandmother's Voice Community, a ceremony honoured Grandmother Moon and our sacred responsibility to protect and nurture all children. Under the Corn Moon, we are reminded of the role we each play in preparing for the generations to come. As we heal ourselves, we heal for the future.
We invite you to pause with the orange ribbons which will remain on the grounds until September 30, offering a space for reflection, contemplation, and remembrance.

Grandmother's Voice
Grandmother’s Voice is a visionary Indigenous organization that aims to unite Indigenous voices while extending a warm invitation to individuals from all directions.
With deep reverence for the timeless wisdom carried by Grandmothers, we endeavor to be a source of healing and unity within communities.
Our mission is to revive and amplify these Ancestral insights and values, nurturing them for generations to come.
We extend our hand to individuals, corporations, and organizations across the public, private, and non-profit sectors, inviting them to join us in embracing the teachings of Indigenous Ancestors, Grandmothers and Grandfathers. Through this collaboration, we aspire to craft a tapestry of Hope, Heart, and Healing that envelops all.
Empowering communities across the Halton region, our organization serves as a beacon for building awareness and fostering connectedness. Rooted in our home base, we are dedicated to enhancing capacity and illuminating the landscape of Indigenous social services and determinants of health in the region. Join us on this transformative journey as we strive to strengthen bonds, raise awareness, and contribute to the well-being of our community.
