Cultural/Social Investment is a priority for our agency to assist in bringing balance to our First Nation’s members on and off reserve. Requests for support for their own programs as well as for their children and families continues to build as well. The interaction between our member First Nations and Niijaansinaanik has assisted in positive relationship building.
An Elders Advisory Circle was established with Terms of reference being adopted by the Elders to help guide them in their role within the Agency. Quarterly meetings have been established and are being conducted. In other program development this past year the Cultural Program supported a number youth camps. Sweat lodge building & teachings, storytelling, medicine walks are just a few of the cultural events led by the Cultural Program.
