A Place to Live, Work & Play
Norway House Cree Nation (NHCN) is one of the largest Indigenous communities in Manitoba with a growing population of 9369 registered members, with 6883 members living on reserve.”
NHCN has long been recognized as a progressive and vibrant community, boasting a large number of amenities as its serves as a gateway, and central hub to Northern and Island lake communities of Manitoba.
Focused on building strategic growth opportunities, NHCN is concentrating its efforts in three key areas:
- Live – Building a community with the amenities and services and resources capable of attracting new residents
- Work – Creating economic development opportunities that will provide employment and generate revenue for the community
- Play – Taking advantage of the natural resources at our finger tips to make this community we can all enjoy living in.
With these three goals in mind, we believe that NHCN has made great strides in recent years, and reflects the success our community has had, including:
- Our community NHCN is home to a state-of-the-art educational facility, post-secondary facility, Kinosao Sipi Multiplex Recreation Centre, Entertainment Centre, Kistapinanihk Shopping Mall and provincially licensed Personal Care Home, Pinaow Wachi Inc.
- In partnership with the Federal Government, NHCN recently secured $160 M in capital funding for a new state-of-the-art fully integrated Health Centre of Excellence that will meet the current and future health needs of the community and surrounding area.
- We also recognize the benefits and importance of self determination through long-term sustainable economic development initiatives. Supporting various economic ventures over the years, which include the Norway House Pharmacy Ltd., KSIW Boarding Home (in Winnipeg), York Boat Inn and Diner, Molson Lake Lodge and Playgreen Development Corporation.
To have a healthy community, we must see the community as a whole when considering new opportunities for economic development, providing services to our members, and to the living & social conditions that effect families in our community. This is the basis of our long-term strategic community development plan.
As leaders, we strive to access resources to enhance programs & services for our members while maintaining a strong focus on economic development & special projects. Creating businesses & employment addresses many needs amongst individuals & families.
