Niriqatiginnga: September 2023 Project Update
The leaves are starting to change colour. Students are off to school and back to campus.
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 (ZERO HUNGER) aims to: end hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture. Food insecurity, malnutrition and hunger are urgent global problems. They have significant negative impacts on the development potential and quality of life of people in many countries.
Under SDG 2, the Government of Canada is focusing on: ensuring that Canadians have access to sufficient, affordable and nutritious food and ensuring that Canadian agriculture is sustainable.

This summer, our Niriqatiginnga project team spent a lot of time consulting and engaging several community partners here in Winnipeg, and in Northern Manitoba. Many communities, especially in the north, are struggling with a number of critical challenges and we thought we would share some of them here.
Niriqatiginnga means “come eat with me,” in Inuktitut. It is a Winnipeg-based non-profit organization that is exploring how to address northern food insecurity through arts-based and cultural entrepreneurship approaches.
