Launch of Apatisiwin Program

Kingston Native Centre and Language Nest (KNCLN) is pleased to be introducing the Apatisiwin Program beginning in January of 2026. Apatisiwin will directly serve urban Indigenous individuals and communities, supporting people of Indigenous ancestry within the Kingston region.

Apatisiwin is a Swampy Cree word meaning “employment, training, and jobs,” and the vision of the Apatisiwin Program is to ensure Indigenous people gain education, experience, and skills to achieve and maintain meaningful employment and improve their employability.
