RRC Polytech and the University of Manitoba have received $1.2M from Protein Industries Canada (PIC) to support a $1.6M applied research initiative aimed at strengthening Indigenous food systems and addressing food insecurity in rural and remote communities. In partnership with the Manitoba Métis Federation, students and researchers from RRC Polytech’s Prairie Research Kitchen and UManitoba’s College of Rehabilitation Sciences will co-develop culturally relevant, plant-based food options with First Nations and Red River Métis communities. “RRC Polytech is committed to elevating Indigenous Peoples and communities, so we’re excited for our team of experts at Prairie Research Kitchen to join our partners in this transformative initiative,” said RRC Polytech VP, Indigenous Strategy, Research and Business Development Jamie Wilson.
