"Raising their Voices": Northern and Indigenous Women's Pathfinder Project
FY 2021-22 · 2021-12-01
Summary
This 22-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. New North SANC Services Inc will achieve this by addressing the underrepresentation of Indigenous women and other marginalized voices in leadership roles and positions of authority and will create regional coalitions to mobilize greater political participation in northern municipal, regional, and provincial governments.
The project will conduct governance workshops to grow awareness of unconscious biases that inform decision-making processes, form coalitions among Indigenous women groups and equity seeking organizations to build a network of peer support groups and sharing circles to identify the issues that are creating barriers to participation by Indigenous women in northern Saskatchewan communities.
At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices, encouraging more equitable and effective sharing of resources, increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change, supporting positive distribution of authority, voices, and decision-making power, and addressing persistent harmful gender norms and attitudes to support women’s equality.
The organization will engage with grass roots organizations, women’s coalition, indigenous women, local and regional government to develop equity-based toolkits for local and regional use. Success will be measured by the number of organizations and governments that adopt the practices put forth by the project and the increase of women in leadership positions and diversity of those seeking political office in the region over time.

Description (French)
Ce projet de 22 mois favorisera une réponse et une relance féministes à la suite des répercussions actuelles de la COVID 19, grâce à des changements systémiques. New North SANC Services Inc. s’attaquera à la sous-représentation des femmes autochtones et d’autres personnes marginalisées dans les rôles de direction et les postes en position de pouvoir et créera des coalitions régionales pour favoriser une plus grande participation politique dans les administrations municipales, régionales et provinciales du Nord.
Dans le cadre du projet, des ateliers sur la gouvernance seront organisés pour accroître la sensibilisation aux préjugés inconscients qui éclairent les processus décisionnels, former des coalitions entre les groupes de femmes autochtones et les organismes cherchant l’équité afin de bâtir un réseau de groupes de soutien par les pairs et de cercles de partage. Cela permettra de cerner les problèmes qui créent des obstacles à la participation des femmes autochtones dans les collectivités du nord de la Saskatchewan.
À la fin du projet, l’organisme aura contribué à éliminer les obstacles systémiques en favorisant un partage plus efficace et équitable des ressources, en accroissant les réseaux et la collaboration pour accélérer le changement systémique, en soutenant une répartition positive du pouvoir, du droit de parole et du pouvoir décisionnel, et en s’attaquant aux normes et aux attitudes préjudiciables persistantes en matière de genre pour promouvoir l’égalité des femmes.
L’organisme collaborera avec des organismes communautaires, une coalition de femmes, des femmes autochtones et des gouvernements locaux et régionaux pour élaborer des trousses d’outils axées sur l’équité à des fins locales et régionales. Le succès sera mesuré par le nombre d’organismes et de gouvernements qui adoptent les pratiques mises de l’avant par le projet, par l’augmentation du nombre de femmes occupant des postes de direction et par la diversité des personnes qui se présentent à un poste politique dans la région au fil du temps.
