Diamond Willow Youth Lodge is a safe, welcoming place for youth between the ages of 12 - 29 to drop-in or participate in a variety of programs and activities.
Designed by young people, for young people, the lodge is a hub where Indigenous youth connect with peers, participate in their own sense of healing and well-being while accessing a variety of programs and supports.
These programs combine cultural learning and self-discovery, supported with health and wellness that includes:

 Some of the programs offered include:

• Healing and visits with cultural knowledge keepers

• Employment, education, and mental health support
• Indigenous crafts
• Drumming workshops
• Monthly Sunday Dinners
• Movie nights
• Sports and recreation
• Game night

We are ever so grateful for our funders at United Way expressing our work in this wonderfully encompassing way through the Annual Impact Report.
