Indigenous culture and community in St. John's - First Light with Stacey Howse

Every year at the CPA convention, we sell orange T-shirts designed by Betty Albert to raise money for an Indigenous-led charity. In 2025 the convention was held in St. John's, Newfoundland, and the recipient of the T-shirt proceeds is First Light, an organization that works with urban Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in the city. Stacey Howse is the Executive Director of First Light, and she joins Mind Full to tell us about the organization, their wraparound services, and the unique challenges facing urban Indigenous people in St. John's today.
