“OneNorth is a unique partnership that will build and further leverage northern infrastructure,” said Ralph Eichler, Manitoba’s minister of Economic Development and Jobs, which is providing the grant in partnership with Indigenous and Northern Relations. “This funding will allow the group to continue seeking additional economic development opportunities in Northern Manitoba, helping strengthen Manitoba’s economy.” $675,000 from Manitoba Agriculture and Resource Development is going to help Manitoba fisheries work towards sustainable certification in an effort to offer their products through high-value international markets.
