Monthly Stew & Bannock 

Once per month the Nîsôhkamâtotân Centre hosts a Stew and Bannock lunch on the last Wednesday of each month, September to April. These are networking events where staff and students can get to know each other. It is a way that we can build the community. We have service areas attend the Stew and Bannock lunches such as Counselling, Career Services, Learning Services etc., to showcase the services available to students on campus. These events also provide an opportunity for industry to attend and promote job opportunities or scholarships to the current students.
