Projects

This 2-year project will focus on enhancing environmental stewardship capacity, particularly in the protection and restoration of the St. Lawrence Watershed which includes the Shawashkong (York) River.

Our mission is to help visitors discover a destination where culture, history, and natural beauty converge.

We’re making Bancroft’s leading tourist destination even better. The project aims to preserve the area’s natural beauty and cultural heritage while promoting Algonquin culture, recreation and tourism.

Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini is building a culture of emergency preparedness within our community – our first step is to increase our capacity to support each other with an effective response. Red Cross Psychological First Aid – Self-Care online courses are now available on a first come, first served basis.

Join us for an enriching series of community events celebrating the cultural knowledge, heritage, natural beauty, and traditions of Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini. This unique series will offer a variety of activities that bring people together to connect with the land and each other.

Welcome to the traditional territory of the Algonquin People — an important trade, harvest, recreation & travel route for thousands of years. For us, tourism is a form of cultural transmission, keeping Algonquin ancestral wisdom alive and vibrant.

We’ve created a brighter, safer path through the core of Bancroft. A community well-being transportation strategy for the downtown portion of the Hastings Heritage Trail, designed to promote recreation, economic prosperity, cultural tourism, and healthier, safer living for all people.

The Hastings Heritage Trail is a four-seasons, multi-use recreational trail welcoming hikers, cyclists, horseback riders, recreational vehicle operators and outdoor enthusiasts. Let’s all share this space safely.

Kijicho Manito Madaouskarini works with private & public sector partners on our traditional territory. Our ongoing partnerships respect both local government priorities & Indigenous knowledge, leading to more sustainable, culturally appropriate initiatives.
