We had the opportunity to host a Rattle Making Workshop with kêhtê-ayak Nina Wilson and her oskâpêwis helper, Daniel Sangrey.

Participants created traditional rattles using elk hide while learning about their meaning and significance. In the Nehiyawak creation story it is taught that the beginning of the universe was sound. The rattle represents this sound through its rumbling & thunder-like voice. They are also connected to spring as the Nehiyawak spring starts when the first thunderstorm arrives. The rattle also accompanies the drum, with the drum being the heartbeat of turtle island (Kokum turtle) and the rattle being the rhythm of that heartbeat.

Thank you to Nina and Daniel for sharing their knowledge and to everyone who joined us. It was a meaningful experience centered on learning, culture, and connection!

After years in a different industry, Jeff decided to try something new and found a role centered around connection and community.

Working with youth, building relationships, and showing up with empathy each day is what makes this work meaningful to him. From supporting daily routines to exploring interests in the community, every moment is about meeting people where they’re at and being present.

At the recent Prairie Sexuality & Disability Conference, Natalya Mason shared powerful insights on how disability, gender, and sexuality intersect.

Her message was clear: identity is layered, language matters, and inclusion starts by challenging assumptions and listening with intention.

Creating spaces where people feel seen, respected, and supported isn’t optional, it’s essential.

Since 2022, the Prairie Sexuality & Disability Conference has been more than just another event. It’s a space where conversations spark connection, ideas turn into action, and people leave feeling a little less alone.

One organization that has been a consistent part of this journey is SIECCAN (Sex Information and Education Council of Canada). Their evidence-based resources empower educators, self-advocates, caregivers, and allies, giving attendees practical tools to take back into their communities.

Want to see how PSD CON is making real change and why resources like SIECCAN’s matter so much? Check out the full story in our latest blog post, LINK IN BIO!

Love is not a privilege. It’s a human right. ❤️

At the recent Prairie Sexuality & Disability Conference, Dr. Karyn Harvey delivered a keynote that challenged all of us to rethink support — and to centre something essential: connection.

Featured on CBC Saskatchewan’s The Morning Edition, Dr. Harvey spoke about loneliness as a public health crisis, the trauma of exclusion, and why safety alone isn’t enough. People deserve real love, real intimacy, real belonging.

Through powerful stories of couples who waited decades for their first “real date,” partners who stood by each other through illness, and individuals whose loneliness left them vulnerable, one message was clear: Connection is prevention. Connection is healing. Connection is a right.

“We need to be teaching people that my support to you, and being in your life is not contingent on you doing things to please me”
