Niriqatiginnga Marketplace
Come Eat With Me
COMING IN SUMMER 2024!
Welcome to our new online marketplace.
This summer, we’re launching an exciting new project. And you’re one of the first to see it.
Building on our first pilot project, this next iteration of Niriqatiginnga will explore enhancing and expanding skills development and training opportunities. In this project, emerging and aspiring food sector entrepreneurs will learn to create, market and sell a food product, while exploring opportunities for cultural and food sector entrepreneurship.
From the best berries in Manitoba and Nunavut, to the finest vegan dark chocolate in Winnipeg, we plan to carry a wide assortment of items, most all of them created and produced by Indigenous youth.
Tradition Meets Innovation
This phase of the Niriqatiginnga framework moves beyond food preservation, to explore transferable skills for cultural entrepreneurship, food product development, marketing and organizational development.
This exciting new program will begin in late spring and early summer 2024. In the meantime, check out our Niriqatiginnga News page to follow along in our food sector entrepreneurship adventures.

In December 2023, this component of Niriqatiginnga was approved for funding from the Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Program – Indigenous Agriculture and Food Systems program with Manitoba Agriculture.
In April 2024 the Niriqatiginnga program will begin testing some of its online marketplace framework in partnership with the Kivalliq Chamber of Commerce.
