Congratulations to Citizens Sheena Bradley and Maddie Amyotte on the grand opening of Fireweed Wellness Lodge!
This new lodge is a safe, welcoming space in downtown Fort McMurray where families can access Indigenous-led reproductive and holistic care. We were proud to celebrate alongside the Children and Family Services Department, recognizing the importance of bringing such a much-needed, accessible wellness facility to the community.
Rooted in cultural safety and community care, Fireweed Wellness Lodge is home to the Indigenous non-profit Ihkapaskwa Collective and Aunties Within Reach, offering midwifery and birth work support, access to traditional plant medicines and teachings, parenting and family wellness programs, as well as culturally grounded mental health and healing services. Whether seeking guidance during pregnancy, support on a parenting journey, or access to traditional medicines and cultural knowledge, Fireweed Wellness Lodge provides a space where healing, learning, and culture come together.
