ONWA GoBAGS
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ONWA began delivering various themed GoBAGS to support community members in their time of need.
The reality of the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way organizations operate. The Ontario Native Women's Association (ONWA) continues to respond and adapt to the unique needs of our communities through our Community Coordination Approach.
​
Part of this Approach includes a provincial initiative that delivers GoBAGS to support community members in their time of need, utilizing a physical distance approach. ONWA embarked on this new initiative in April 2020. There are various themed GoBAGS available, each designed with a specific need in mind.
