Carty House was honoured to participate in a day on the land by members of the Kitigan Zibi community as part of the launch of Gather Berry, a collaboration between Dominion City Brewery and The Birch Bite.

DCBC has been a gracious and generous supporter of Carty House and refugee services from their inception and they continue to strive to make the world a better place.

“In partnership with Ottawa 200, our shared vision is a collaboration celebrating Ottawa’s 200th anniversary while honouring the fact that this land and its original inhabitants predate the City by millennia.” -DCBC

At Carty House, we believe that fostering belonging, respect, and community begins with listening and learning. Our experience in this community reinforces our commitment to creating welcoming spaces for refugee claimants while acknowledging the Indigenous Peoples whose lands we live, work, and gather on.

Thank you for an inspiring and impactful day. We look forward to continuing this learning journey together.
