## Resource

Ottawa’s Odawa Native Friendship Centre has launched the Makwa Dodem Patrol — a powerful, community-led initiative inspired by Winnipeg’s Bear Clan Patrol — to connect with vulnerable neighbors in Vanier and ByWard Market. Volunteers patrol every Saturday, offering meals, socks, conversation, and compassionate support rooted in Indigenous values and awareness of intergenerational trauma. After training with Winnipeg’s team and holding a free community workshop, they kicked off their first walk Thursday, aiming to expand into evening hours. This isn’t just about supplies — it’s about being a good friend and relative, building a local safety net where everyone belongs.
