FNWM wins the 2022 Green Community Member of the Year Award!
Back in June 2022, the First Nations Waste Minimization Program won the Green Community Member of the Year Award!
Green Action Centre’s First Nations Waste Minimization program (FNWMP) supports Manitoba First Nation communities in advancing their waste reduction priorities, diversion of waste materials, and improving overall sustainability in First Nation communities around Manitoba, including the health of the land, air, water, humans and wildlife.
We’d like to thank Green Communities Canada for selecting us for this award! We appreciate your acknowledgement of the hard work the FNWMP team has been doing since 2018 here in Manitoba.

Protecting Mother Earth
Intended for First Nation classrooms, this presentation provides a basic understanding of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in relation to Indigenous worldviews – how we are connected with the planet and how we must find a harmonious balance with our environment for the sake of the next seven generations. This includes actions students can take at home, in school, or within their community. Examples will explore what other schools in First Nation communities around Manitoba are doing to reduce their impact on Mother Earth.
