Mi'kmaq Women's Resource Centre B

Abstract

In this case, students are introduced to Heidi Marshall, the senior consultant and director for the Mi’kmaq Women’s Resource Centre (MWRC) located in Sydney, Nova Scotia. Heidi is from Membertou, a Mi’kmaw reserve in Nova Scotia located within the Cape Breton Regional Municipality (CBRM). As director of MWRC, Heidi is in partnership with the Nova Scotia Native Women’s Association. She estimates that a minimum of $500,000 will be required for the 2017-2018 fiscal year. With the future in mind, Heidi must strategize how she will obtain funding and continue the centre’s operations in order to meet the organization’s goals and objectives.
