The band is back together!

There's nothing quite like getting the team together in person. This year, we tapped into our creative sides during a paint-and-sip afternoon, and let's just say there were some hidden artists among us!

A fantastic day of creativity, connection, and lots of laughs. It is always such a great time to connect face-to-face in person with our team.

Kelly and Kylee joined Bliss Ducharme and Theresa Snow from the Okanagan Training & Development Council (OTDC) at the Okanagan Nation Alliance Annual General Assembly on the traditional and unceded territory of the Lower Similkameen Indian Band as part of our ongoing Labour Market Study with OTDC.

This important engagement is helping us better understand the priorities, experiences, and aspirations of community members related to education, training, and workforce development. The insights gathered through these conversations will help inform a Labour Market Study for participating Nations in the Okanagan and Similkameen region.

Thank you to everyone who shared their perspectives and helped shape this important work! Also, a big shout out to Pauline Terbasket, Raven Mikuletic and all of the organizers of the ONA AGA for allowing us to attend and enabling this important work!

In our work, there are times when we have the honour of visiting and being in community. Being there in person shapes how how stories are shared, how trust is built, and how we learn from one another. It's in those shared spaces that true relationship-building happens.

In this new blog, we reflect on our travels, the relationships we have cultivated through being in community, and why being together in person matters in work that is relational, grounded, and community-led.

What a great time spent in West Bank First Nation working on behalf of the Okanagan Training & Development Council!

Kylee and Kelly, with special guest Aubrey (Kylee's daughter) had the privilege of spending time in community making space to listen, learn, and better understand the priorities and experiences of community members around education and the workforce. This work will inform a Labour Market Study for First Nations in the Okanagan and Similkameen region.

We’re grateful for the conversations shared and the opportunity to support this project in a way that is grounded in relationship and community voice. Thank you to Leah Whitehouse and Bliss Ducharme for setting us up for success and to everyone who shared their time and perspectives with us!

Our team is headed to Cawston on July 22 and July 23 and will have a booth at the Okanagan Nation Alliance Annual General Assembly. We hope to hear from as many people as possible about education and workforce priorities!

Recently, Ém and Maya travelled to Manitoulin Island in Ontario and spent time in Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territory visiting the Shkinawe Gamig project as part of our ongoing evaluation work with Movember's Indigenous Men's Social Emotional Wellbeing portfolio.

During their visit, they had the chance to speak with staff and community members about the realities and priorities that need to be carried forward in the work. These moments matter because they shift the work from assumption to understanding. Travelling in person to community reminds us that community knowledge is not something to be extracted or summarized from afar: it is something to be approached with care, listened to fully, and held with accountability.

For us, being in community is part of how we honour the work. It helps ensure that what is created reflects the people, place, and relationships at the centre of it.

Thank you Brandon Corbiere for the time shared and for the trust that continues to make this work possible!

Happy National Indigenous Peoples Day!

Today and every day, is a time to uplift the stories, languages, and strength of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across Turtle Island.

We are still here. Still carrying traditional knowledge. Still leading, building, and dreaming for the generations to come.

Today, we stand together in celebration of where we come from, the knowledge we carry, and the future we continue to build together.

June holds space for both National Indigenous History Month and Pride Month.

This month invites us to honour the histories, teachings, and leadership of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples, while also recognizing the strength, brilliance, and ongoing contributions of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, including Two-Spirit and Indigiqueer people.

Indigenous history informs the work we do today. It lives in the systems communities continue to navigate, in the stories people carry, and in the ongoing work of truth, healing, and self-determination. Pride, too, asks us to reflect on belonging, safety, and the right for people to live fully and freely as themselves.

For those looking to deepen their understanding this month, here are a few resources we recommend:

Over the years, Kylee has helped shape RCI in lasting ways through her leadership, dedication, and deep commitment to the work. As Partner and Lead for Operations and Sustainability, she has been part of building the strong foundation that supports our team, our relationships, and the way we continue to grow.

There is so much intention behind what Kylee has helped make possible. We’re incredibly grateful for all she has contributed over the past 18 years and for the leadership she continues to bring to RCI.

Our Team Leads Sofia and Kylee recently travelled to Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, where they were warmly welcomed into community as part of RCI’s ongoing evaluation work.

During their visit, they spent time at KVIBE, the Kalihi Valley Instructional Bike Exchange, a youth-centred program of KĹŤkua Kalihi Valley. KVIBE is a place where young people can build and repair bikes, learn alongside mentors, grow their confidence, and stay connected to culture and community.

At KVIBE, Sofia and Kylee saw how a bicycle can become part of a much bigger story about care, responsibility, belonging, and connection. They also had the opportunity to learn about KKV’s broader community work, including traditional healing, medicine, food-growing, and canoe-building.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed our team and for offering their time, knowledge, and stories. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn from the work being carried forward in Kalihi Valley.
