Building Capacity:
Quality Assurance
In 2004 Pikangikum First Nation initiated an ISO program to put into place a quality management system that is recognized world-wide. We have entered into an agreement with Membertou First Nation, the only First Nation in Canada to date that has received ISO certification, to provide support in this effort.
We are doing this because we believe that implementation of a quality management system will help to create the structures we need to support all of our programs and services offered to community members. As well, we believe that a quality management system will help us to create and maintain the partnerships and other relationships necessary to our efforts to build a strong community.
The program will build on the solid foundation of our culture and will be based on strengthening the current policies and procedures of our First Nation. Through this program we intend to put into place a management system that will help us move our First Nation forward without sacrificing our culture.
