On July 29th, 2025, Canada Bridges relaunched IRT7: Indigenous Rising Treaty 7 Youth Engagement Session at 223 12 Ave SW, Calgary from 5:30–7:30 PM! 
This relaunch was all about listening to youth voices and reimagining what programs and spaces they want to see! 
Past projects included:

A huge thank you to Tyra Crosschild and Jacie from Canada Bridges for supporting and listening to amazing youth like Will and Jorja—and of course, sharing some delicious pizza! 
Stay tuned for future hangouts, drop-in hours, and youth-led projects—this is just the beginning!
A statement from Tyra and Jacie:
“Indigenous Rising Treaty 7 (IRT7) is a youth-led leadership community rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and grounded in the Unveiling Youth Potential (UYP) approach. Designed to support Indigenous youth changemakers.
IRT7 empowers participants to develop and implement social change projects through collaborative, peer-supported learning. The program offers professional development opportunities that reflect the UYP framework, emphasizing the importance of youth knowledge, cultural connection, and cross-cultural understanding as drivers of sustainable change. IRT7 cultivates a strong network of support through regular meetings and an open-door policy that welcomes all young leaders committed to making a real impact in their communities.”
