🔥Earlier this week, the Manitoba Eco-Network had the opportunity to attend the Fireside Chat: Asihcikan, a dialogue hosted in collaboration by Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre & Harvest Manitoba.

MbEN commends their efforts towards supporting Indigenous food sovereignty, providing resources for Manitobans to build up their communities, and building a strong coalition of cross-organizational solidarity.
