Outreach channels

Check out our YouTube channel and our Facebook page and be sure to sign up for email newsletters.
Event promotion
The events listings are primarily for Ktunaxa Nation Council and Ktunaxa First Nations to share events with our communities.
Listings are also open to partner organizations such as Ktunaxa-Kinbasket Child and Family Services, Ktunaxa Enterprise Ltd., St Eugene Golf Resort Casino, College of the Rockies, Selkirk College, and so on—provided the events are of direct interest or benefit to our key audience of Ktunaxa people.
Please email communications@ktunaxa.org to ask about posting an event.
Human Resources

How to apply
Employees and prospective employees use WorkZoom to manage their time, track professional development and apply for positions.
