KO shared 8 presentations at the International NAISA Conference in Saskatoon June 2013. There were delegates from around the world that shared their communities research. We met lots of groups who share similar challenges and learned new and innovative methods for overcomming those challenges. Chief Rita Thompson of North Spirit Lake also joined the KO team to share her community's story. We are reminded of the sucesses of the KO communities and how their programs are seen as world class. We are proud to continue to share the story and learn from others in partnership with First Nation Innovation and our new Research Associate: Brian Beaton.
