Growing change in Northern Manitoba

This webinar provided an overview of the Northern Healthy Foods Initiative (NHFI), a collaborative effort between five provincial departments and the Northern Manitoba food security community, which includes Food Matters Manitoba. It covered issues facing northern communities as it relates to access to healthy foods, provided the logic underpinning the NHFI – including the program structure and delivery model, and highlighted project successes as presented by Food Matters Manitoba.
