On behalf of the Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation (DDCDC), Board Chair Tribal Chief Mark Arcand says, “We proudly support Hope’s Home’s work towards inclusion and participation of children with complex medical needs in a safe space with the high-quality care they need.”

“Thanks to the support from the Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation, Saskatoon families can now benefit from child care services that includes on-site nursing care to meet their children’s medical needs.

In line with our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, Hope’s Home places great importance on celebrating the Indigenous and First Nations cultures of the children we serve. Thanks to the support from Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation, Saskatoon families will have access to child care that meets the medical needs of their children and celebrates the diversity of First Nations and non-First Nations children.”  said Jacqueline Tisher, CEO and Founder of Hope’s Home

The generous donation from the Dakota Dunes Community Development Corporation will support the creation of inclusive classrooms in the new child care centre in Saskatoon. These classrooms will be equipped with various sections dedicated to learning, creative arts, storytelling, and open play, all aimed at fostering the development and growth of children. Additionally, the classrooms will be outfitted with special adaptive equipment, like ceiling tracks, to facilitate in-class therapies for children through activities and play that are integrated into their daily routine.
