Women in northern Manitoba who are fleeing domestic violence will soon have a new place to turn.

Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation, also known as Nelson House, is holding a grand opening of its first women’s shelter on Tuesday.

It’s the fifth First Nations women’s crisis centre in the province and the only one in the North, the centre’s executive director said.
