What You Need To Know

Planet Youth Nipissing is an initiative taking place on traditional Anishinabek territory, on lands of the peoples of Nipissing First Nation and Dokis First Nation, and lands protected by the Robinson Huron Treaty of 1850. We are grateful to the caretakers of these lands, and strive to engage with and learn from Indigenous partners and communities to help foster Mino-Bimaadiziwin (the good life).
