The website was crafted to provide ease of access to organizational information and to be reflective of organizational goals.

“We are happy to have an online resource for the First Nations we work close with, as well as for those interested in learning more about our services,” said Joanne Koehler, Executive Director of Niijaansinaanik Child and Family Services. “The website helps communicate our organizational commitment to providing services culturally congruent to meeting needs of children and family.”

The website is part of a Communications Strategy formulated to further the organizational vision, mission and important social and cultural investment according to the fundamental beliefs of Mino Bimaadiziwin – The Good Life, diversity, our Elders, the Clan System and Accountabilities, and the 7 Grandfather Teachings.

Our Organization:

Niijaansinaanik Child and Family was incorporated as a non-profit organization in the province of Ontario in November 2018. We began activities as a pre-designated Child Well Being Agency in 2016. This pre-designation is historic as it is a necessary step in reclaiming jurisdiction over child welfare services to the First Nations we currently service.
