The staff includes Indigenous community members and Elders who are on hand to help both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people seeking guidance and support for different issues such as substance abuse and mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since it opened in the spring of 2018, the camp has helped transform many lives, including empowering people to stop use drugs and alcohol, to start working again or to go back to school. \u201cIt has created a support system for the community,\u201d says Redvers, who is a naturopathic doctor and member of the Deninu K\u2019ue First Nation in the NWT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The camp\u2019s success to date is mainly due to the C$1-million <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcticinspirationprize.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arctic Inspiration Prize (AIP) <\/a> the AIWF won in 2017. The money has helped fund the project, including building and operating the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AIP was founded in 2012 by Canadian immigrants, and RBC Wealth Management clients, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcticinspirationprize.ca\/prize\/foundation.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sima Sharifi and husband Arnold Witzig <\/a>. The philanthropic couple, based in Vancouver, fell in love with Canada\u2019s North after taking a trip to Iqaluit years ago \u2014 and have spent more time exploring the Arctic ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to inspire, enable and somehow celebrate all these achievements of the people in the North,\u201d Witzig said in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/news\/national\/vancouver-couple-donate-60-million-to-esteemed-arctic-inspiration-prize\/article37812955\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an interview with The Globe and Mail <\/a> in 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The couple donated $60-million to the AIP, which awards a total of $3-million annually; including a single $1-million prize, up to four prizes valued at up to $500,000 and up to seven prizes of up to $100,000 for youth under age 30. The awards go to community-based projects that help address educational, health, environmental and economic issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbc.com\/community-social-impact\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RBC Foundation <\/a> provided $250,000 in financial support to the Rideau Hall Foundation \u2014 the organization that manages and administers the prize on behalf of The Arctic Inspiration Prize Charitable Trust. Additionally, the RBC Foundation has funded one of the prizes awarded to participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arcticinspirationprize.ca\/prize\/about.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AIP website <\/a>, the prize \u201cis intended for multidisciplinary teams who have made a substantial, demonstrated and distinguished contribution to the gathering of Arctic knowledge and who have provided a concrete plan and commitment to implement their knowledge into real-world application for the benefit of the Canadian Arctic, its peoples and therefore Canada as a whole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the other past AIP winners include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>te(a)ch, which teaches young people computer coding, game design, engineering, and computer science;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SmartICE (Sea-Ice Monitoring and Real-Time Information for Coastal Environments), a sea-ice monitoring system that enables community members to plan safe passage on sea ice and;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FOXY (Fostering Open Expression Among Youth) which support sex education and LGBTQ awareness in northern communities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s people in the North, helping people in the North,\u201d says AIP executive director Marti Ford, who took on her role last year. She was drawn to the position based on the projects the AIP supports and their impact to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s doing things. It\u2019s making changes and it\u2019s grassroots,\u201d Ford says. \u201cThese are people who know what\u2019s needed in their communities coming forward saying, \u2018this is what we have to do.\u2019 And they\u2019re doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ford recalls a speech from one teen who learned to make art from scrap metal, thanks to the From Scrap to Art project, which won an AIP in 2018. \u201cHe said, \u2018someone taught us to weld, and now we\u2019re making art,\u2019\u201d she recalls. \u201cI started to cry, alongside almost everyone else in the audience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Redvers of the AIWF says the AIP is unique because it enables communities to help themselves. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the only prizes that allows projects to be self-determined,\u201d Redvers says \u201cIt allows community-driven solutions to prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AIWF has helped several people in the community, Redvers says, including men who are often reluctant to seek help for issues such as drug and alcohol abuse or depression. The men helped by the program have since inspired others to seek help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese are men that failed other social and treatment programs,\u201d she says. \u201cHere, people recognize this person that is now completely well. That has given hope to others to say, \u2018maybe I can do that too.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AIWF has motivated other communities to start similar programs that combine modern and traditional forms of treatment, including healing techniques like traditional food preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has been very fulfilling for us to help other communities bring self-determined health practices back to their communities,\u201d says Redvers. \u201cNone of that would have been possible without this prize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another AIP winner and success story is Qarmaapik Family House in Kangiqsualujjuaq, Que., which provides development programs for parents and a safe space for children to stay during a family crisis. It includes a safe house component and prevention component for issues such as family violence, abuse and suicide prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project began after statistics showed the community had more children in foster care than any other community in Nunavik, says Hilda Snowball, one of the founders of Qarmaapik Family House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe came up with the project so we can have children in a safe place and counselling for the parents in our own way, before children are reported to the Youth Protection,\u201d says Snowball, the former mayor of Kangiqsualujjuaq who is now vice chair of the Kativik Regional Government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program was awarded $700,000 from the AIP in 2016 and the funds are used to support families and community members receive the support, understanding and tools needed to handle a family crisis\u2014and try to prevent them, where possible. The AIP money helps to fund counselling services, training for counsellors as well as developing activities for families, like excursions out on the land. The program is culturally appropriate, run by Elders and counsellors from the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe want to take ownership and provide services in our own way,\u201d says Snowball. \u201cIt has been challenging, but also empowering for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Snowball says they\u2019ve also been approached by other communities seeking to set up similar programs in their areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe have seen a very positive impact on the community,\u201d she says. \u201cWe are really trying to empower our people so that we, as a community, can be responsible and accountable for ourselves and our own actions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read the inspiring story of the Arctic Inspiration Prize and the $60M donated by RBC
