HNHBhealthline.ca – Basic Needs and Social Supports

Food, clothing and shelter are basic needs necessary to survival. Social programs help people to meet these needs, especially during times of personal hardship, by providing financial and employment assistance, material goods, emergency shelter, and affordable housing. Additional social supports such as public education, skills training and advocacy help people to build better lives for themselves and their families.

Land Acknowledgment

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabeg. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties, is within the lands protected by the “Dish with One Spoon” wampum agreement and is directly adjacent to the Haldimand Treaty territory.

Today, this land continues to be the home of many Indigenous Peoples. Acknowledging ensures we reflect on our past and what changes can be made going forward to further the reconciliation process, and it reminds us that the great standard of living that we enjoy in Niagara is directly related to the resources and friendships of the Indigenous Peoples who make up this community.

Extreme cold can be dangerous—especially for seniors, infants/children, people who are unhoused, and anyone working outdoors. Stay in heated spaces, dress in layers, and limit time outside.
