Native Inmate
Liaison Officer

The NILO program aims to deliver and provide necessary cultural and spiritual resources to assist Indigenous clients while in custody in their successful reintegration into the community by providing culturally relevant programs, services and activities aimed at promoting Indigenous healing and wellness. The Native Inmate Liaison Officer Program will address the unique needs of Indigenous clients within the “healing continuum” through support and services that promote healthy functioning in all aspects of their lives and their communities.

Collaboration between the NILO and Kenora Jail staff is recommended to support and complement all activities and events and ensure the necessary support is available.
