CANADA IS TREATY TERRITORY

Our impact

Justice
in motion.

Kairos turns learning into action for justice. Across Canada and globally, we work with Indigenous leaders, churches, global partners, volunteers and supporters to build relationships, strengthen movements and advance lasting change.

Three kinds of movement

Education &
Partner-
ships

Kairos supports Indigenous-led learning, relationship-building and community-based leadership. Programs like the Kairos Blanket Exercise and the new Wisdom in Action: Indigenous Elders Leading Change deepen understanding of colonization, uphold Indigenous rights and take meaningful steps towards truth, accountability and right relationship.

The Kairos Blanket Exercise is growing a movement for truth, reconciliation and right relationship. This powerful experiential learning tool helps participants understand the historical and ongoing impacts of colonization on Indigenous Peoples in Canada and around the world.

Policy Change &
Mobilization

Kairos mobilizes people and partners to bring justice concerns to decision-makers and influence public policy. By connecting issues that are often treated separately — Indigenous rights, ecological justice, gender justice, migrant justice, peace and economic justice — Kairos brings lived experience into advocacy, institutions and public narratives.
