Fighting the addictions crisis in northern Manitoba’s Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation – Global News
December 17, 2025
The addictions crisis is taking a toll on some remote and isolated communities in northern Manitoba.
It’s something Carol Kobliski sees in her community of Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation every day.
“I just don’t want to see a child pick up meth or crack and overdose on it. That’s what scares me the most,” Kobliski told Global News.
“If there’s a little baby, two or three years old, and they go pick it up thinking it’s candy … Is that what it’s going to take to wake up the community? It’s scary.”
