🌟 Celebrating Our Summer Staff! 🌟

As summer winds down, we’re reflecting with gratitude on the 37 amazing staff who joined us this season across Ogimaawabiitong – Kenora Chiefs Advisory and the Makate Waagamichiwanang Gakinaa’amaatiwin Youth and Family Wellness Camp

💛 5 students supported programs across KCA — from Sports & Recreation to Makwa Patrol, Health Promotion, and Primary Care.

💛 32 students worked at Camp, bringing energy and care for our Summer Camp as Activity Specialists, Counsellors (Senior, Junior & Inclusive), and in our Equine, Maintenance, Kitchen , and Sports and Recreation teams.

We’re so proud of the dedication, leadership, and heart you showed this summer. As you head back to school or onto the next journey, we know you’ll continue to do amazing things. 🌞

A huge Miigwetch to our funders for investing in the next generation of leaders:
Canada Summer Jobs, SEO – Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture & Gaming, First Nations & Inuit Summer Work Experience Program, Jays Care Foundation, Shooniyaa Wa-Biitong, Seven Generations Education Institute , Right To Play , and Save the Children Canada - Kinder Kinder Joy of Moving

Here’s to building skills, creating memories, and growing strong together.
