This week, Engage Manitoba will hold poverty reduction strategy consultations in northern Manitoba.

The first will take place here in Thompson tomorrow at the Ma Mow We Tak Friendship Centre.

Starting at 9 am is the Stakeholder Engagement.  In this roundtable discussion, participants from front-line service providers will learn about the poverty reduction strategy renewal process, ask questions and share their perspectives.

At 1 pm, the Indigenous Engagement session begins.   Indigenous rights holders,  stakeholders, Elders, Knowledge keepers and community members are encouraged to participate and share their insights.

The public engagement session runs from 6 to 8 pm and is open to all community members.

Another consultation takes place on Thursday at the Kikiwak Inn.    The schedule is the same.
