Greetings,
Keewaytinook Okimakanak Charity Initiatives was created in 2009 to provide youth with recreation and education opportunities. Royal Bank of Canada awarded KOCI with a Blue Water Community Grant to enable the partner First Nation to raise awareness of the importance of water. Youth learned about source water, the water cycle, traditional water practices and promoting the protection of water for the future. Art contests occured in the partner First Nations along with tours of the local water plant in partnership with the school.
