Aanii ~ Welcome to the Niigaaniin website.

The Niigaaniin Program is an "active" social assistance program with an emphasis on providing support to first nation communities and their citizens.

Our program is the implementation of the Ontario Works legislation with culturally appropriate provisions. Rates, eligibility and program parameters are established by the Ontario Works program. 

The Niigaaniin program is based on community specific needs, and programs are delivered through a client case management model within the seven North Shore First Nations communities and Wahnapitae First Nation.
