The Family Foods Grocery Store at Opaskwayak Cree Nations Otineka Mall will be open for business once again starting today.

According to a statement from OCN, tenant Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation said they would close Family Foods but they had every intention to open as soon as possible. NCN’s Economic Development Manger previously told Arctic Radio News that they weren’t in a financial position to continue running the store.

OCN Chief Christian Sinclair says that when there are outside interests that attack the economy of OCN it is also an attack on the quality of life for our people and that will not be tolerated.
