About this service
Mama Bear Clan is a community safety initiative that was created by NPDWC's Women's Warrior Circle. In 2016 a group of mothers, grandmothers, sisters and aunts decided that safety is something that is fostered through relationship: within ourselves, our home, and in the community. Sometimes all people need to feel safe is knowing someone cares about them.
By connecting with our neighbours and our friends living on the street we hope to build friendship and trust within our community while incorporating the Seven Sacred Teachings: love, truth, honesty, respect, courage, humility and wisdom.
We recognize that women and men share responsibility for community safety which is why we work together in a mutually understood matriarchal leadership structure. The result is our organizing principle: "led by our women, supported by our men."
We patrol North Point Douglas and Main Street three days a week - rain or shine, summer or winter.
