The Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba is a neutral body created through a partnership between the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and the Government of Canada with a mandate to strengthen, rebuild and enhance the Treaty relationship with mutual respect between all Manitobans.

The TRCM will enhance and maintain positive intergovernmental relations and cooperation, conduct independent research that advances discussion on Treaty related issues and facilitate public understanding of the importance and role of Treaty making in building a stronger and healthier nation.

Parks Canada is working together with the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba to tell the story of the making of Treaty, in particular Treaty One at Lower Fort Garry to create, through its programming, a greater understanding of the significance of the Treaty as a symbol of the vital and ongoing relationship between First Nations and all other Canadians.

The Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization of Manitoba is committed to empowering newcomer families as they settle into their new life in Canada, including experiencing and learning about Canada’s natural and cultural heritage. IRCOM works to build relationships with others in the community in order to offer meaningful opportunities to newcomers as they work to establish new community networks and gain access to the tools they need to integrate and enjoy life in their new home. Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site is partnering with IRCOM in the Learn to Camp program. Together the resources of both organizations provide new and expanded opportunities for newcomers to experience Canada, to be introduced to camping and other related outdoor activities, and to enjoy fun new ways of learning about Canada’s national treasures. Mountain Equipment Co-op supports the Learn to Camp program through a national partnering agreement with Parks Canada.
