NOWI: Naawi-Oodena Workforce Initiative

Welcome to the Naawi-Oodena Workforce Initiative (NOWI)

The Naawi-Oodena Workforce Initiative (NOWI) is at the
forefront of creating meaningful employment opportunities which contribute to
the success of the Naawi-Oodena development in Winnipeg, MB.

Engagement and Objectives:

In 2022, the Treaty One Workforce Mobilization team engaged with Treaty One First Nation communities to introduce the NOWI project and highlight its objectives and goals. A key area of focus was to identify and leverage the skills of Treaty One First Nation members to secure employment opportunities during the construction phases at Naawi-Oodena.

Current Initiatives:

At this time, the NOWI team is actively determining the required workforce for the initial phases of construction at Naawi-Oodena. We are enthusiastically accepting resumes in anticipation of forthcoming opportunities with our General Contractors and Partners.
