The Ma’mo’weh Wii’soo’ka’tiwin Foundation will be expanding and sustaining its MWG Youth and Family Wellness Camp with a $10M gift from the Krawczyk Family Foundation. The camp—which is grounded in Anishinaabe teachings—is owned, operated, and maintained by the eight First Nation members of the Kenora Chiefs Advisory. It hosts land-based, recreational, and therapeutic programming year-round. The funds will be used to support operations for three years so that more than 45,000 Indigenous youth can participate in cultural and wellness activities. It will also be used to establish a garden and outdoor classroom. “Together, we are giving Indigenous youth the leadership skills and confidence they need to build a better future for themselves and their communities,” said Ma’mo’weh Wii’soo’ka’tiwin Foundation Chair and President Kathleen Wynne.
