MANITOBA GOVERNMENT INVESTS $1.3 MILLION IN NORTHERN HEALTHY FOODS INITIATIVE

The Manitoba government is investing $1.3 million toward the Northern Healthy Foods Initiative to support northern food security projects that contribute to the development of culturally relevant, healthy food systems, Indigenous Reconciliation and Northern Relations Minister Eileen Clarke announced today.

“The Northern Healthy Foods Initiative empowers communities to develop food security programs that address their unique needs,” said Clarke. “These local and regional projects increase the supply and reduce the cost of nutritious food in the north, and also increase community access to resources and opportunities which facilitate the sharing of knowledge and experiences.”
