Empowering Futures through Education

At Medicure, we believe that education is a powerful tool for change and empowerment. It's with great pride and excitement that we announce our support for the Indigenous Education Awards. This initiative aligns with our commitment to fostering inclusive opportunities and supporting communities (see our Mission and Values).

 

About the Indigenous Education Awards

The Business Council of Manitoba's mission, is to make Manitoba a preferred place to live, work and invest through community development and equality of opportunity for all Manitobans.

The Business Council of Manitoba's Indigenous Education Awards Program was established by the Business Council of Manitoba in 2001. Over the years, the program has partnered with the governments of Canada, Manitoba, and The Winnipeg Foundation to provide over 2,600 awards totaling more than $6.8 million to Indigenous students.

The Business Council is committed to assist in providing opportunities for Indigenous Manitobans to achieve a post-secondary education and contribute to moving our province forward toward a better future.
