A "United Way of the North"
Few voluntary agencies provide services like food banks, subsidized housing and youth programs to remote northern communities. So the Partnership is "looking to create a 'United Way of the North," said Michael Hardy.
Get Involved — Build caring relationships
Our partnership of First Nations and non-Aboriginal peoples is forming networks of caring relationships to improve life for First Nations children, youth and families in Ontario's far north. We want to learn from one another and to support the dreams and efforts of remote northern First Nation communities for their children.
If you or your organization or company, can share resources, expertise and friendship, please work with us and become members of the caring circle.
To apply to become a partner, please fill out the Mamow Sha-way-gi-kay-win Partner Commitment form.
