Sometimes, hearing advice from someone who’s #beentheredonethat can be your deciding moment. 🤔 And that’s why we’re sharing words from Indigenous students who’ve joined us in the past for Soaring, our annual Indigenous Youth Empowerment Gathering!

We were deeply saddened to hear about the passing

We were deeply saddened to hear about the passing of another member of the Indspire family. Our hearts and thoughts are with the family and friends of Joan Glode, Indspire Laureate (Public Service – 2009) and unwavering advocate for Indigenous children’s rights.

One of the very first Mi’kmaq women in Canada to receive a graduate degree in social work, Joan combined this knowledge with her deep passion for child welfare to create the Mi’kmaw Family and Children’s Services of Nova Scotia, serving as its Executive Director. This organization consistently provides reconciliation-based public education, research, and support to promote the safety and wellbeing of First Nations children, young people, families and Nations.

Joan gave her time to many boards and committees, travelling the world to speak about the importance of Indigenous children’s rights. In 2007, as the president of the board of directors for the First Nations Child & Family Caring Society of Canada (FNCFCS), she signed a Memorandum of Understanding with then-National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) Phil Fontaine, holding the Government of Canada accountable for its treatment of Indigenous children and families.

An inspirational writer, academic mentor, and role model, Joan received numerous accolades in recognition of her work, including the Order of Canada (2009) and an honorary Doctor of Philosophy degree from Dalhousie University (2009). She served as an Olympic Torchbearer for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.

In the words of fellow child advocate and Indspire Laureate Cindy Blackstock (Public Service – 2011), “She was a convener of good people, and she demanded that we ask more of ourselves than even what we thought was possible on our own.”

We honour Joan’s legacy, and we send our heartfelt condolences to her loved ones.
