The Community Wellness Collaborative, we want to acknowledge the Indigenous Peoples in Manitoba, upon whose lands we continue to gather, work and reside. We are gathered today on Treaty 1 and 2 territories. Treaty 1 and 2 are two of the historic treaties that were signed in Manitoba, including numbered treaties 1 through 5, and 10. We acknowledge that Manitoba encompasses the First Nations ancestral lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dene peoples, as well as the traditional homelands of the Metis Nations. We also acknowledge that many Inuit have made a home in Manitoba. The CWC further acknowledge the strengths and resilience of all Indigenous Peoples in Manitoba, as demonstrated through the sharing of Indigenous knowledge, continued cultural practices, and language revitalization.

The Community Wellness Collaborative continues to strive toward community planning and development that embraces equitable and collaborative approaches to reconciliation.

Stewardship, the notion of caring for the people and space around us, is an integral part of responsible community development. There are many

models of stewardship; The Seventh Generation Principle today is generally referred to in decisions being made about our energy, water, and natural resources, and ensuring those decisions are sustainable for seven generations in the future. But, it can also be applied to relationships - every

decision should result in sustainable relationships seven generations in the future.

ABOUT CWC BRANDON

Community

Is self-defined by those that identify as members of community

Community Wellness

Community wellness is considered holistic, we focus on those issues that are emergent within community. Journeys towards wellness are varied and as collaborators we assist in taking the appropriate next step towards improving wellness for community. It extends beyond physical health and incorporates many different contexts of the lived experience that should work in harmony.


There are two important aspects to this definition. First, wellness is not a passive or static state but rather an “active pursuit” that is associated with intentions, choices and actions as we work toward an optimal state of health and wellbeing. Second, wellness is linked to holistic health—that is, it extends beyond physical health and incorporates many different dimensions of lived experience that should work in harmony.

Practice Wisdom

Practice Wisdom: Is the knowledge and expertise that social workers, therapists, and other care providers draw upon to make professional decisions. Practice wisdom develops through on-the-job training and experience but may also be influenced by theory, research, and life experience.
