The Maamowiijidiwag Initiative has come to an end! Maamowiijidiwag means They come together, meet with each other and that is what this programme has aimed to do over the last several months: give us a way to come together when we are socially distant and staying apart. We shared talks with Elders, hosted fitness classes, cooked and baked together, learned about ice fishing safety, went on virtual art gallery tours, and more during this initiative. It’s still too soon to b...e going back to fully-in-person events, but we can look forward to that together. Nokiiwin will continue to provide virtual programming and continue to encourage you to keep wearing your mask and to get vaccinated, so we can all get back to normal. Check out this PSA all about vaccination to find out more: https://nokiiwin.live/psa Miigwetch!! Miigwetch to everyone who made the Maamowiijidiwag Initiative so successful. We’ll be back with more virtual content! Follow us here or sign up for our newsletter at: https://nokiiwin.live/eNews-sign
