Apipunsit — a Mi’kmaq word, a verb: to spend the winter.

@Apipunsit — a-pee-PUN-sit. A Mi'kmaq word: to spend the winter.
From Ktaqmkuk, the island of Newfoundland, where no one winters alone — and where what mattered was buried on purpose, kept alive underground, brought up when needed.
Not broken. Buried. The story ↓

There are so many amazing local organizations doing work that are both Black led + serving you could support with these sales. @hogans_alley being one tremendous example. Hope to see some connection between the marketing and the impact.
There is a housing crisis in Metro Van. 62,000 low-income households pay more than 50% of their income on housing. Shifting 70% of the newly constructed rentals towards non-market = almost 75,000 more affordable homes for low-income households. Read our report @vancitycommfdn
