Tikinagan is mandated by the chiefs of Nishnawbe-Aski Nation to provide services in a manner that is sensitive to the unique needs of the Native child and family, Native culture and traditions, and the concept of the extended family. Families often require help at many levels to address issues of mental health, family violence, marital support and addictions, and communities often do not have the necessary resources to meet all of the family's needs. In establishing Tikinagan as a Native child welfare agency, the chiefs were committed to providing services to children and families in whatever manner necessary to prevent them from becoming at risk. Tikinagan was formed, not only to provide child protection services, but also to provide family support and intervention services, to assist and seek out resources for families to overcome their difficulties and to broaden the social services network for the benefit of our children and families. 2, record 3, English, - Tikinagan%20Child%20and%20Family%20Services

Peace Brigades International(PBI) is a unique grassroot organization exploring and implementing nonviolent approaches to peacekeeping and support for basic human rights. By invitations, PBI sends teams of volunteers who go into areas of political repression and conflict. PBI provides protective international accompaniment for individuals and organizations who have been threatened by political violence or who are otherwise at risk. In this way, PBI enlarges the space for local activists to work for social justice and human rights, while at the same time being non-partisan : not telling them what to do, how to do it, or how their future should be formed. 1, record 4, English, - Peace%20Brigades%20International

The principal focus of the Algoma Highlands Conservancy is that of a land trust(e. g. Robertson Lake Cliffs), but it also provides opportunities for undertaking educational programs(e. g. Lake Superior State University), for research into forest management techniques through the Canadian Forest Service, for the protection of species at risk(e. g. the peregrine release program) and for non-motorized recreational activities. The Algoma Highlands Conservancy is unique because it is a bi-national organization seeking to purchase and protect 6, 000 to 8, 000 acres in the vicinity of King Mountain, which is almost 1, 300 ft. above the elevation of nearby Lake Superior. This area is best known for the Stokely Creek Trail System, one of the most extensive Nordic areas in North America that is enjoyed by thousands of cross-country skiers every winter. 1, record 7, English, - Algoma%20Highlands%20Conservancy
