A few words from Jennifer Carey-Cool – Šawelihcikewin Ambassador

Jennifer Carey-Cool is Director of Moose Cree First Nation’s Moose Cree Child and Family Well-being Services. She is also a member of the St. Thomas Restoration Committee, served as co-chair of the 2021-22 Twelve Apostles Campaign and is now a Šawelihcikewin Fundraising Campaign Ambassador.

She said, “It would be a source of great pride to see this iconic heritage building restored in all its beauty and repurposed in the service of the entire community, especially our children.  The programming offered here will help them learn more about the truth of our full history from before the 1600’s to the present.  The restoration of an old building with a mixed history will also provide a very tangible example of how our people are moving forward today and tomorrow in healing and reconciliation. I am especially excited about the possibility of music programming such as an intergenerational Cree language choir being offered here.”
