Supporting Individual First Nation Citizens While Creating a United Voice for All
Gitpo Spirit Lodge is a concept by retired AFN Regional Chief Roger Augustine. The plan is to develop a national men’s wellness facility with locations serving the Atlantic, Western and Pacific regions. Many of our men (Boys to Men) have lived with various issues that affect their ability to function in their own First Nations, with the goal to develop them to become respected leaders and elders of the community.
Gitpo Spirit Lodge Wellness and Harm Reduction Pilot Project
Retired AFN Regional Chief Roger Augustine, a veteran of 45 years in First Nation politics and a survivor of the residential (institution) school system and Indian Day school, is the visionary behind this project.
Chief Roger has, through his adult life advanced his bold and compassionate drive to turn his vision into reality through the principles of Peace and Friendship. Chief Roger possesses a well-established track record of advancing wellness for First Nation communities across Canada.
