As part of Career and Workforce Development Month, MACD is promoting a number of Industry Spotlights as featured events that showcase Manitoba’s leading industries; offering insights into career opportunities, innovations, and the future of work in our province.

Industry Spotlight #3: Indigenous Tourism Manitoba - Info Session

Indigenous Tourism Manitoba (ITM) exists to support and foster Indigenous tourism in the province. Aligned with Travel Manitoba and the Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC), ITM provides leadership, shares stories, and offers support to strengthen Indigenous tourism businesses' contributions to Manitoba's visitor economy.

Indigenous tourism is experiencing significant growth and demand both locally and internationally and attributes this growth in most part to our Indigenous-led approach to building and sustaining the industry.

Indigenous tourism has the potential to change perspectives, preserve culture, language, and traditions and provides opportunities to improve the socio-economic environment for Indigenous communities. Manitoba’s diverse landscape and Indigenous cultures lay the foundation to create and enhance unique world-class experiences!

Join our virtual event to learn more about Indigenous Tourism in Manitoba and learn how you can be part of this exciting new industry. You might be a budding entrepreneur, an industry partner, or someone who is interested in getting involved. We will be sharing the successes of our members, industry information, and how we are building relationships within industry.

Are you interested in pursuing your career as a Registered Nurse in Manitoba?

The College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba is Manitoba’s registered nursing regulator and is responsible for overseeing the practice of registered nursing in our province.

That means we ensure that all registered nurses and nurse practitioners are qualified to provide safe, ethical care ─ in the same way that driver licensing helps ensure that anyone who has a driver’s license can operate a vehicle safely on our roads.

We have been guiding the registered nursing profession since 1913, and throughout that time we’ve been committed to one central goal: protection and service of the public interest through quality registered nursing regulation.

The topics covered will include:

• • Our vision, mission, and values
