The Packsack Project
The Packsack Project is an exploration of resilient rural and Indigenous communities in Northern Ontario. We will hear from people, businesses, and organizations who are adapting to change in ways that is reflective of Northern Ontario’s culture and geography.
By sharing real-life stories, experiences, and examples, we hope you will learn that building resilience may require a change in perspective, attitude, partnerships, and alliances along the way.
Be the change you want to see in your own community.
