WHAT'S IN A NAME?
The name Dreamcatcher was chosen from a list of 200 creatively devised ideas. Once this enormous list was narrowed down to 4 names, the names were distributed to 15 children between the ages of six and twelve. The most popular of the four was Dreamcatcher; when asked why, nearly all the children in the survey suggested it meant "catching dreams."
With no intent on choosing an aboriginal name, the response from the children and the fact that the legend dreamcatcher's purpose is to catch the bad dreams while allowing the person sleeping to receive the good dreams, it became a perfect representation for what the organization was hoping to accomplish: our Dreamcatcher will hold the bad stuff, so people can open themselves up to the good stuff.
Dreamcatcher serves hundreds of families a year and works with more than 40 province-wide agencies that tap into our clinical services and charitable programs. We guide, teach, counsel and inspire, but most of all we are blooming where we've been planted so that others can live more fully.
