It’s been a busy few months. Here is our project update as we move into November, 2023. It’s the month we’ve been waiting for as, after more than six months of dedicated planning, Niriqatiginnga will officially start its programming.
In the coming months, our project team members will be reaching out, building relationships and engaging with organizations, programs and models that can help inform the design and development of a professional commercial kitchen, Indigenous “food lab” and outdoor “living lab” community garden.

It’s been a hot summer, but it’s almost over. This summer we spent a lot of time working on planning out our next year of projects and programming. As we get ready to kick-off our Niriqatiginnga Framework initiative this fall, we spent a lot of time consulting and engaging.
This summer, our Niriqatiginnga project team spent a lot of time consulting and engaging several community partners here in Winnipeg, and in Northern Manitoba. Many communities, especially in the north, are struggling with a number of critical challenges and we thought we would share some of them here.
This summer our team met with representatives from the Government of Manitoba and Manitoba Agriculture’s Sustainable Canadian Agriculture Program.
This June, the talented team from @1860 Winnipeg Arts are diving into a different side of arts and cultural entrepreneurship. With support from the Arctic Buying Company Winnipeg, young individuals from Indigenous, Black, and rural communities have been exploring the world of northern shipping and supply chains.
As a community program, nurturing the skills, knowledge, and networks of our future leaders, this unique, pilot program contributes beyond the success of its participants. Niriqatiginnga also lays foundations for sustainable and impactful business and entrepreneurship programming across the Kivalliq Region and Northern Manitoba.
