Ni Nagamoon (Nehiyawak for “my song”) is a First Nation cultural sharing created and performed by Niagara-based performing artist Nicole Joy-Fraser. Through storytelling and original hand drum songs, Nicole shares her Anishnaabe teachings, based on her journey and reclamation of Indigenous heritage. This 60-70 minute intimate and interactive workshop is ideal for children ages 6-8, with each session catered to one group at a time. Students and teachers are invited to use shakers and rattles to join Nicole in the music making. Ni Nagamoon will be an outdoor activity, inviting participants to reconnect with Mother Earth.

🏠 CONGRATULATIONS, Na-Me-Res (Native Men's Residence) ! 🧡

The Toronto Red Pages is proud to congratulate Na-Me-Res on the official opening of its newest deeply affordable housing development on Coxwell Avenue in Toronto.

This important development provides 20 new homes for Indigenous men transitioning out of the shelter system or experiencing homelessness.

But this is about more than housing. Residents will have access to Indigenous-centred supports focused on mental and physical health, spiritual well-being, stability, healing, and connection to community.

👏 We also recognize the City of Toronto for its partnership and support in helping bring this important project to life.

Every person deserves a safe and stable place to call home. Investments like this demonstrate what can happen when organizations, communities, and governments work together.

From all of us at Toronto Red Pages — congratulations to Na-Me-Res on this incredible milestone!

❤️ Strong partnerships.
🏠 Strong communities.
🌱 Brighter futures.
