IYR Gathering 2025

IYR’s Indigenous Youth Gathering brings together Indigenous youth from coast to coast to coast for 3 days of youth-led programming and networking grounded in Indigenous ways of knowing and being. The Gathering is designed to support and amplify Indigenous youth voices towards a better future in what we currently call Canada. Selected by our Gathering Advisory Circle, the theme of this year's Gathering is “Illuminating Threads of Connection: Weaving together Land, Spirit, and Identity.” Recognizing the interconnectedness of Indigenous Youth and how to take care of each other and the land.
