Recovery deserves more than one day of attention—it deserves continued community support.
Members of the Share Bears team recently attended and supported Jay Barnard’s Empower2Recover event in Kenora. Our team appreciated the opportunity to listen, learn and support the important work being done to encourage recovery, healing and hope.
The event brought together speakers and community members, including Chief Jeffrey Copenace of the Ojibways of Onigaming First Nation, for important conversations about recovery, reducing stigma and supporting people as they rebuild their lives.
Share Bears Laundromat is proud to continue that support closer to home as a Community Partner for Fort Frances’ 3rd Recovery Day—Battle for Recovery #3.
📅 Wednesday, September 23, 2026
⏰ 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
📍 La Place Rendez-Vous, Fort Frances
We are excited for this upcoming event and grateful to Jay, the speakers, organizers, volunteers and everyone working to bring it to our community.
At Share Bears, we believe in second chances and in supporting people through both their successes and their struggles. Recovery becomes stronger when communities show up for one another.
Miigwech. Never give up.
