Welcome From Thelma
This year, many of you know that Tikinagan is celebrating its 40th anniversary. To honour that, we’ve made the theme of Supervisor Meeting “Celebrating 40 Years.”
It’s always a privilege to gather together, to see each other face-to-face, and to connect as a team — away from the screens. This is especially important when we are meeting with families and providing services in our communities. Our First Nations are always asking to come to their communities. They value the time and energy it takes for us to show up. And sometimes that all it takes: just showing up and being with them is enough to show we care.
When we are in the same room, there’s an immediate connection that can’t be replicated through a screen. You can read body language, pick up on tone and energy, and truly understand how someone is feeling. Anyone who has ever done a home visit can tell you how important this skill is, both for us to understand them and for them to learn to trust us.
Over these next two days, the agenda has us working together and getting us out of our seats. There’s a certain energy that comes from being together. We feel more engaged, more connected, and more aligned when we share physical space.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to sit down with so many of you over the next two days and hear your thoughts. Your dedication and hard work have never been more important, and I want to take a moment to acknowledge that.
Thank you again for your ongoing commitment to Tikinagan and for joining us over the next few days!
