Local businesses include the Kish-Gon-Dug Cedar Factory, which sells its products locally and exports them to Europe. There are also C & O Logging and a community store. Programs for members include Community Care, Education, Family Support Services, Healing and Wellness, the Justice Worker Program, Health Services and Healthy Babies Healthy Children.
