The 2026 Nipikiskwasiwan National Summit took place on April 8-9 at the Edmonton Expo Centre. The two-day conference brings together Indigenous leaders and organizations working in Indigenous child and family services.
Lorraine Mlambo, co-organizer of the event, tells CFWE that this year’s theme was “Rekindling the Home Fire.” The theme aims to strengthen Indigenous children’s connections to their families.
Mlambo emphasized the importance of the summit, noting that it gathers a variety of organizations to share ideas and build strength in numbers.
