2023 COMMUNITY COLLABORATOR
PROGRAM INITIATIVES
The Six Nations of the Grand River Development Corporation (SNGRDC) is excited to bring these events and initiatives to the Six Nations community with the help of our generous Community Collaborators.
The 2023 Community Collaborator initiatives include:
Community Awareness, National Indigenous People’s Day, and the Fall Harvest Festival.
Community Awareness
Date: Thursday, May 11, 2023
Time: 11:00am – 4:00pm
Location: Chiefswood Park
This event is an opportunity for Six Nations organizations to showcase their products and services. Community members are invited to attend the events throughout the month. SNGRDC operates special events during Community Awareness to share available services and create a space for community togetherness. In 2022, SNGRDC hosted a free community BBQ, fundraiser raffle, outdoor Prize Bingo and Chiefswood Park offered cabin tours and free watercraft rentals for participants. Through the raffle, we raised $1,574 – SNGRDC matched these proceeds which were then donated to the Kawenni:io/Gaweni:yo school building fund.
National Indigenous People’s Day
Date: June 21, 2023
SNGRDC will be gifting books written by Indigenous authors to all elementary schools in Six Nations. These stories align with Haudenosaunee culture and values while supporting our children with a deeper understanding of literature.
Fall Harvest
Festival
Date: October 21, 2023
Time: 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: Chiefswood Park
The Fall Festival is an event to bring the community together, marking an important time for harvest and gatherings. This event began in 2016 and following a two-year hiatus due to COVID-19, we were happy to return in 2022! Last year, this event saw more than 1,100 attendees and included community vendors/booths, activity stations, midway rides and more!
