TSIIONKWANONHSO:TE GETS SPECIAL VISITOR — ARTIST MIA JACOBS

The totas at Tsiionkwanonhso:te Long-Term Care Facility were treated to a joyful holiday surprise — a special visit from local artist Mia Jacobs! Mia brightened our main entryway with vibrant, festive colours and themes — just in time for the holidays! 🎄🖌️

Mia’s connection to Tsiionkwanonhso:te is close to the heart: her great‑grandfather lives at the facility, and she wanted to give back for the loving care shown to her family. During her visit, the totas enjoyed sitting with her, watching her creativity flow, and sharing in the cheerful atmosphere.

A proud Kana:takon School student in the Kanien’kehà:ka (Mohawk) Immersion Program, Mia also spoke Mohawk with several residents — and they were delighted to converse in our traditional language. 🗣️ 

NIA:WEN, MIA!
Thank you, Mia Jacobs, for your time, kindness, and beautiful contribution to our totas’ holiday festivities. Your artwork — and the love behind it — are truly beloved and appreciated by our totas. 💞
