Reaching out to First Nations People

Christian Horizons and NationWares are reaching out in “Zaagidewin” (love) to First Nations communities in Northern Ontario. We’re offering inclusive summer recreational programs for children and youth as well as new microenterprise and vocational training in Mishkeegogamang and Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug, two communities Christian Horizons has been involved with since 2006.


Why?

First Nations communities are isolated and currently have a disability rate triple the national average. In 2009, Unicef reported that, overall, Canada ranks 3rd according to the Human Development Index (measuring social and economic development), while our First Nations communities rank 68th. This is clearly a barrier to the health and well-being of these people.

Our Vision

Partnering with First Nations and persons with exceptional needs to build sustainable
community through social and economic development.
