The Comeback Society Programs
Building Kinship Ties
Rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing, our program connects Indigenous youth with Indigenous mentors through land-based learning, cultural teachings, and community engagement. Building Kinship Ties is about more than mentorship—it’s about restoring relationships, strengthening identity, and creating space where youth feel seen, supported, and empowered.
In partnership with the Ministry of Social Services and the YWCA Regina, this program provides Indigenous youth in care the opportunity to experience outdoor activities, cultural teachings, crafting, storytelling, and ceremony. Together, we are creating a supportive circle of kinship that nurtures belonging, resilience, and hope—while weaving stronger ties across generations.
Annual Buffalo Harvest
This ceremony provides the community with an opportunity to eat a food source that our ancestors depended on for generations. As Indigenous people, our connection to the buffalo has been a vital piece of who we are. Together, we are reclaiming this practice for our people to help work against food insecurity. These harvests also provide an opportunity for our Indigenous youth to participate and experience their cultural practices and lineage. Together we harvest the buffalo for the soupbowl sunday program.
Wâhkôhtowin in Motion
Wâhkôhtowin in Motion is a land-based recreation and wellness program designed to strengthen connection, culture, and community through movement in every season. Rooted in the Cree teaching of wâhkôhtowin—the kinship and interconnectedness of all living beings—this program invites Indigenous youth to experience the land in meaningful ways while building confidence, skills, and cultural pride.
From mountain biking, paddle boarding, and hiking in the summer, to skiing, snowshoeing, hunting, and fishing in the winter, participants are guided through activities that nourish both body and spirit. Each experience is woven with cultural teachings and community support, ensuring youth not only move through the land, but move toward belonging, resilience, and balance.
Regina Street Team Partnership

By partnering with CSIR, RST gains access to resources, expertise, and collaborative opportunities that enhance its capacity to deliver effective services and drive systemic change. Additionally, TCS brings valuable support to RST through its commitment to promoting accessibility, anti-oppression, and reconciliation, providing a strong foundation for ethical and inclusive community engagement. Through this partnership, RST, CSIR, and TCS collectively work towards creating safer, more inclusive environments in Regina, leveraging their respective strengths to address systemic barriers and improve the well-being of residents.
