Our Work with Stoney Nakoda Nations

In Spring 2025, the Chiniki Group of Companies and Infinity Health established a partnership with the Stoney Nakoda Nations, operating from our office in Mînî Thnî, to strengthen health, education and overall wellness through a trauma-informed, culturally safe approach. 

This work honors Stoney Nakoda knowledge, values and traditions while supporting holistic, community-led programs for children, youth, families and Elders. We actively apply for grants and use these funds to provide accessible services directly within the Nation, ensuring that programs meet the community’s evolving needs.

Current services include occupational therapy ranging across the lifespan, with plans to expand services as the community’s needs grow. Programs are being developed across community spaces to reflect local priorities and to support emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing. By listening closely and walking alongside community members and service providers, we aim to ensure resources are directed where they can have the greatest impact.

Children and youth are at the heart of our work. Within the schools, we will provide school-based assessments to better understand the developmental, behavioral and emotional needs of students – thus, ensuring that classroom supports are both strength-based and culturally safe. Afterschool programs will provide tutoring for any aged student, opportunities for personal training/access to a gym space, and opportunities for growth in a safe and empowering environment facilitated by an Occupational Therapist.

Through all initiatives, our commitment remains strong: Walking alongside the community, honoring Indigenous knowledge, and co-creating solutions that foster healing, resilience and self-determination for the Stoney Nakoda Nations.
