  Northern Forest Diversification Centre (Manitoba)
  This initiative is focused on non-timber forest products. "The development of the Northern Forest Diversification Centre (NFDC) began in 2000 as a community development initiative of Keewatin Community College (now University College of the North) in Northern Manitoba.  Funding from Western Economic Diversification and the Province of Manitoba paid for the initial feasibility study, and the development of the 10-day community-based training program."
