Keepers of the Circle operate from two primary locations situated in the historical Robinson-Huron Treaty territory, Temiskaming Shores and Kirkland Lake. The land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Algonquin peoples with a well established Anishinaabe and Metis community. We offer onsite and on-the-land programs and services that follow a continuum along the lifecycle and depending on the focus, are both age and gender-specific. Our services include Early Learning and Childcare; Family Support and Cultural Activities; and Pre-employment Training with a focus on Indigenous Women’s Leadership and economic security.

The organization was founded in 1974 tasked with the mandate to enhance, promote, and foster the social, economic, cultural and political well-being of Indigenous women in Canada. Keepers of the Circle supports this mandate through outreach programming initiatives.
