Rivers Base Assumes New Role as Native Training Centre
Rivers Base in Manitoba is officially signed over to become a training centre for Manitoba Indians and Metis. The $500 acre site, to be named Oo-Za-WeKwun Centre Inc., will run a two year program to prepare native residents for vocational training or university studies. Officials describe the move as a new era and a model for future Canadian centres, with projected costs rising from $2 million the first year to $4 million in the third year. Students will be paid wages and charged for accommodation, and negotiations continue with five companies to locate at the centre and recruit from its student population.
