CBC Manitoba's Communities in Focus heads to Norway House

At CBC Manitoba, our job is to tell stories that reflect our province's many people and places.

One way we do that is through Communities in Focus, our community news bureau initiative. The goal of these community visits is to meet people, hear their stories and to then share those stories with the rest of the province and beyond. It's about reflecting and representing our contemporary province and the people who call this place home.

This fall, we're visiting the northern parts of the province. Our last stop of the tour is Norway House Cree Nation. A team of journalists will spend time in thecommunity and will be dedicated to listening, learning and sharing stories on issues that matter most to those that live there.

And as our audience, you'll be able to experience the unique and varied life and culture of each community we put in focus.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

Activities are offered in collaboration with Norway House Cree Nation community members and local organizations.
