Northern WICI

Indigenous leadership. Stronger communities.

Northern WICI (Weaving Indigenous Communities Initiative) is dedicated to building respectful and lasting partnerships with Indigenous communities through collaboration, cultural understanding, and community-led initiatives. Our program supports meaningful relationships that strengthen communities while respecting Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and leadership.  

Northern WICI supports Indigenous-led programs focused on education, cultural preservation, youth development, and community wellbeing. By working alongside communities rather than directing them, the program encourages sustainable initiatives that reflect local priorities and values.  

Activities may include cultural celebrations, youth leadership programs, language preservation initiatives, educational workshops, community outreach, Elder engagement, and collaborative partnership projects. These initiatives help strengthen cultural identity while creating opportunities for future generations.  

Northern WICI primarily serves First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities, including Indigenous youth, Elders, families, and partner organizations working together to improve community wellbeing.  

Through donations and community partnerships, Northern WICI helps advance reconciliation, preserve Indigenous cultures, and foster stronger, more inclusive communities across Canada.
