Hello Everyone!

Just a little update on the Food Security and Nutrition programs.

A huge thank you to Silena George and Cassidy Walkus for all your help

with the Good Food Bag Program every other week!

What is the ‘Good Food Bag’ Program?

The Good Food Bag program makes wholesome produce more affordable

to community members. Each bag contains fresh fruits, vegetables and

ingredients for a healthy recipe at the cost of only $10.00. It also has a

calendar showing sign up cut off and pick up dates inside. You can sign

up for a bag at the band office but be quick as we only accept the first 30

people!

Just a reminder that your bag has to be picked up on the pick up date

otherwise it will be given to someone else as it can go bad over the

weekend.

What else is going on?

I have been assisting Silena with elders programs at the elders building

every week. I have been getting ready to start planting in the

community garden as well as starting the composting program.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!

The k̓awat̕si Economic Development Corporation (KEDC) was established with a mandate of pursuing

economic development ventures on behalf of the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw Nations (GNN). KEDC and

GNN comprise a Limited Partnership where KEDC is the General Partner and GNN is the Limited

Partner. KEDC’s vision is to create, operate, and support businesses that will be profitable,

environmentally sustainable and culturally significant, while respecting unique GNN values, and

upholding the pride and well-being of the Gwa’sala-‘Nakwaxda’xw peoples.

Along with four other operating Limited Partnerships within KEDC that operate for-profit business

enterprises, KEDC’s construction/real estate company positions the corporation to develop a profile of

business ventures within these industries. An opportunity now exists to purchase an accommodation

focused property within the District of Port Hardy

The hotel will provide a four star accommodation offering in Port Hardy, BC. The business will primarily

serve the leisure traveller market, especially in the high season of May to October, and supplement this

demand with corporate and government clients throughout the year. In addition to providing

accommodations, the hotel will provide food and beverage services in conjunction with the existing

restaurant and pub as well as conference and meeting space.

The tourism and hospitality firm Mizare, based in Vancouver BC, is pleased to have contracted to operate

the hotel on behalf of KEDC. Mizare is a professional firm with over 25 years of hospitality expertise and

has extensive experience operating similar hotels. The company also works extensively with Aboriginal

Tourism BC and will have a mandate to grow the Aboriginal tourism experiences in the Port Hardy area,

leveraging the strength of the soon to be transformed Port Hardy Inn.

As the hotel begins to transform into a year round operation, providing superior accommodation and

services on the north Island, we are pleased to begin accepting applications for a number of part-time and

full-time positions, as indicated.

Thank you,

The Mizare Hospitality Team
