It is now known as the Makate Waagamichiwanang Gakinaa’amaatiwin Youth and Family Wellness Camp. According to the press release from KCA “The name given by the elders council references a traditional gathering and learning place within Treaty 3 and the river that connects the nations.”

The property was acquired by KCA in 2020 and serves as a regional centre for healing, recreation, reconciliation, and cultural revitalization for children, youth and families across Northwestern Ontario.
