It’s been a season of learning, relationship building and collaboration.

This fall, our staff participated in Ya'thi Néné Lands and Resources’ 10-year anniversary community tour, attended a sweat ceremony with English River First Nation, and completed the first terms of reference meeting for long-term engagement with Kineepik Metis Local.

These experiences strengthen relationships and deepen our understanding of First Nation and Métis cultures, traditions and perspectives.
