Indigenous Winnipeggers now have year-round access to sweat lodge ceremonies, thanks to Ka Ni Kanichihk's unveiling of the city's first urban, all-season sweat lodge. The cedar-panelled building features washrooms, benches, and an enclosed fire pit with traditional Indigenous plants for medicine. Sweat lodges are used for spiritual, mental, and physical healing, accessible to people of all ages.
The annual subscription costs $205.00 + GST, with a 10% discount for renewing every 52 weeks. Elders blessed and opened the lodge during Ka Ni Kanichihk's annual block party, allowing residents to access ceremony, whether they're new to the practice or continuing their healing journey.
