Kiscewaskahikan

york landing youth churchill processing

Here are the different ways in which we currently support the important work of our partners in Kiscewaskahikan (York Landing/ York Factory)

Harvester Program

Our partners in Kiscewaskahikan travel to Churchill in the spring for a goose hunt. We help by providing harvesting materials when needed, which especially came in handy when the ferry was unavailable for some of the 2022 summer months.

Gardening

There is a greenhouse located at the York Factory school, and we work with the school to provide seeds every spring for growing plants.

Medicine and Ceremony Supports

We support our partners in Kiscewaskahikan so that they can engage in ceremony and important community events such as the men’s gathering. 

Winter Roads

Kiscewaskahikan sits across Split Lake from Tataskweyak and is usually connected by a ferry in the summer months and by road (across Split Lake) as soon as the water freezes. During winter, we send harvesting and gardening supplies and help fill equipment gaps when they arise. This year we were excited to send equipment to build a smoke shack at the local goose camp.
