The student exchange between these two Aboriginal communities is an important component of the Kids From Kanata program that both school classes are participating in and where they were first paired and introduced. Keewaytinook Okimakanak sponsored Pic River School's participation in this year's Kids from Kanata program through Industry Canada's First Nations SchoolNet program.
