This June, the OPP Association and our Encompas Mental Health Wellness Program acknowledges the histories, cultures, and enduring contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples—many of whom serve, protect, and lead within public safety roles.

We recognize that the path to wellness for Indigenous members must be rooted in cultural understanding, respect, and safety. Our commitment extends beyond acknowledgment—we are dedicated to listening, learning, and partnering with Indigenous communities in the shared pursuit of truth, healing, and reconciliation.

To our Indigenous members and their families: we see you, we honour your stories, and we are here to support your mental health and wellness journey in a way that respects both tradition and personal experience.
