Native Addictions Council Of Manitoba

The Native Addictions Council Of Manitoba (NACM) was stirred by a tragic story of fatalities caused by drunken driving. Nine people perished in this incident, which happened on Highway 59 south of Brokenhead on May 10, 1968. Thirty-three children were left orphaned, and the only survivor was confined to a wheelchair (Native Addictions Council Of Manitoba, 2021). Unfortunately, these problems could not be easily wiped away. This led to two days of meetings with communities and organizations in Winnipeg to address the problem of alcohol. The Native Alcoholism Council of Manitoba was born. It is now known as the Native Addictions Council of Manitoba (Native Addictions Council Of Manitoba, 2021). In 1972, NACM received its first federal funding. In addition, the company's first ten employees were appointed, and office spaces were relocated to a rundown old garage in the city's north end (Native Addictions Council Of Manitoba, 2021).
