Indigenous students often face unique challenges related to mental health, wellness, and accessing culturally safe support while navigating post-secondary education. In this webinar, we will be joined by Shaylin Allison from Kids Help Phone (KHP) and Karry Anne Daye from CarePoint Health to discuss resources available to Indigenous students. Shaylin will introduce KHP’s Indigenous initiatives and programs, while Karry Anne will discuss the Indigenous Pathway in the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy program. This webinar will explore how educators, counsellors, and student support staff can connect First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students to free, confidential, and culturally grounded mental health resources, as well as practical information, resources, and strategies to support Indigenous student well-being.

One night. Club SAW becomes a circumpolar takeover. The indoor stage and open-air courtyard run in parallel from opening til late, moving from traditional drumming into electro-pop, experimental throat singing into hard rock, Arctic soul under post-sunset light, and a closing DJ set that pulls contemporary Inuit pop and classic Inuit songs onto the dance floor. Come early, stay late. A lineup of seven Inuit artists holding three JUNO nominations, a Polaris Prize nod, the Sobey Art Award, and a Canadian Screen Award between them. This is truly a night spent in excellent company.

THE LINEUP:

  • Riit (headliner) carries the sing-song dialect of her Pangnirtung home into synth-laden electro-pop. One of the most original voices in contemporary Inuit music, blending katajjaq, and masterful Inuktitut lyricism.
  • Silla takes katajjaq on a sonic journey of hard rock, electronic, and post-industrial heavy-hitting dance floor beats.
  • JUURINI represents Nunavik, bringing his full band with Kuujjuaq-rooted ambient folk and thoughtful Inuktitut songwriting.
  • Josh Q plays a courtyard set under the setting sun of Arctic soul, inspired by Iqaluit, with a voice that moves any room to its core.
  • Lambo brings the Iqaluit after-party vibe to Ottawa. A night under the midnight sun soaked in contemporary Inuit pop, classic Inuit songs, and well-loved dance floor bangers deep into the night.
  • Laakkuluk Williamson (MC) anchors and electrifies the evening as master of ceremonies. Donovan Tootoo opens with qilaut (Inuit frame drum) traditions from the Kivalliq region, grounding the night.

Presented by Qamaniq Records alongside Debaser, in the historic ByWard Market as part of Ottawa’s 200th anniversary celebrations.

Elisapie’s unconditional attachment to her territory and her language, Inuktitut, remains at the core of her creative journey. Born and raised in Salluit, a small village in Nunavik, which is only accessible by plane, Elisapie is an emblematic Canadian Inuk singer-songwriter. Since winning her first Juno Award in 2005 with her band Taima, Elisapie’s body of work has been praised many times. On September 15th, 2023, Elisapie unveiled Inuktitut, her fourth solo record. On this album, the Inuk artist covers ten classic rock and pop songs ranging from the 1960’s to the 90’s, translated into Inuktitut, her mother tongue. The result is an emotional, autobiographical soundtrack where each song is associated with a loved one or an intimate story. Acclaimed by audiences and critics alike, Inuktitut is the artist’s second album to land a shortlist nomination for the Polaris Music Prize. Its success also earned Elisapie a Juno Award in the Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year category, as well as five awards at the 2024 ADISQ Gala, and allowed her to play over 70 concerts in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. She also just got nominated for this year’s upcoming Juno Awards for Best Album of the Year, as well as for Best Adult Alternative Album of the Year. Aside from her musical career, Elisapie is known for creating and producing documentaries and the first Canada-wide broadcast TV show to celebrate the National Indigenous Peoples’ Day, called Le Grand Solstice. She was also honoured with a Canada Post stamp. Always surrounded by the best musicians from the Montreal indie and folk scenes, Elisapie makes her culture resonate with finesse by mixing modernity and tradition.
