KO Charitable Initiatives

 

 

 

Keewaytinook Okimakanak Community Initiatives (KOCI) is a registered charity that creates opportunities for the health and education of youth in the six partner KO communities. Since 2009, KOCI has supported the priorities of First Nation leadership to provide youth with opportunities for recreation, healthy living, accessible education and reuniting youth with their culture and language on the land.
