Youth Winter Camp Focused on Wellness and Connection

From January 12–17, IFNA Mental Health, in partnership with SLFNHA, hosted a Youth Winter Wellness Camp at the SLFNHA Camp in Lac Seul. The camp brought together 15 youth from KI for a week focused on wellness, connection, and time on the land. 

Through a mix of land-based activities, group sessions, and opportunities for reflection and sharing, the camp was designed to support youth mental wellness, build positive relationships, and provide a safe, supportive space for learning and healing. Guided by strong community support and care, this gathering offered youth a chance to step away from everyday pressures and focus on their well-being, connection, and strength as young people.

20 Fully Serviced Lots Developed For New Homes in Muskrat Dam First Nation

One of the biggest challenges facing our remote communities is the lack of safe and affordable housing. In 2024, Muskrat Dam First Nation and IFNA identified the need for more homes. The first step was to prepare serviced lots where new houses could eventually be built. 

Initial funding for this work was secured through the CMHC Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF). As part of this funding, several key activities were completed to make sure the project would benefit the community.
