What’s New Version 1.8.3
This update adds a welcome notice that appears each time the app is opened.
• A card now greets you on launch noting that this is not an official sanctioned app — it was created and designed by a member of the nation. Tap the X to continue into the app.
No other changes — everything else works exactly as before.
Description
NFN Connect keeps Nipissing First Nation members informed and connected — whether you live on-reserve, off-reserve, or anywhere across Turtle Island.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Browse upcoming events synced directly from the nfn.ca community calendar. Filter by category — health programs, education, employment, seniors activities, council meetings, and more. Tap any event for full details, location, and timing so you never miss what matters.
ENKAMGAK NEWSLETTER ARCHIVE
Read every issue of the Enkamgak monthly newsletter right from your phone. Search across the full archive by keyword to find past articles, announcements, and community updates. No more digging through email or filing paper copies.
ANISHINAABEMOWIN LANGUAGE
Browse hundreds of Anishinaabemowin words and phrases with English translations, pronunciations, and context. A Word of the Day feature helps build language skills one day at a time.
STAFF DIRECTORY
Find the right person at the band office instantly. Search 173+ contacts across 12 departments by name, position, or department. Tap to call or email directly — no switchboard, no waiting.
EMERGENCY CONTACTS
One-tap access to OPP, fire, ambulance, crisis support lines, CAS, and other critical numbers. When seconds matter, the numbers you need are always one tap away.
STAY NOTIFIED YOUR WAY
Choose the push notification categories that matter to you. Select on-reserve or off-reserve preferences so you only receive alerts that are relevant to where you live. You are always in control of what reaches your phone.
BUILT FOR EVERYONE
Designed with elders, youth, and families in mind. Large touch targets, clear navigation, and a straightforward layout that works for all ages and comfort levels with technology.
NFN Connect is a community-driven project. It is not an official application of Nipissing First Nation band governance. Built with care by a community member, for community members.
