WINNIPEG The availability of fresh produce in northern Manitoba is limited, but a federally funded project is developing sustainable food production systems on Opaskwayak Cree Nation (OCN) and surrounding communities. University of Manitoba professor Miyoung Suh is collaborating with OCN Health Authority’s executive director Glenn Ross on a smart vertical farming initiative. Vertical farming is a process where vegetables and crops are grown on stacked shelves in an indoor environment. Growers use LED lights and computer-assisted technology to monitor crops for optimal growth. The practice allows growers to cultivate plants in limited spaces and more importantly, in extreme environments like northern Manitoba.
Red Market Brand
Red Market Brand, a new Indigenous-owned and operated cannabis-related project founded on a mission of supporting Indigenous communities, launched on June 21.
The company was founded by Isadore Day, former Regional Chief of Ontario, and Christian Sinclair, Onekanew (Chief) for the Opaskwayak Cree Nation – leaders in the discussion surrounding Indigenous rights within the legal sale of cannabis in Canada.
Red Market will bring high-quality cannabis products to the Canadian retail, adult-use market with the primary goals of making Indigenous-owned cannabis brands available, pursuing economic reconciliation across Canada and enriching First Nation communities from Coast to Coast through compliant cannabis sales. Red Market Brand will debut its first products through a partnership with Royal City Cannabis Co., a certified craft cannabis producer.
