With the start of a new year, Red River College is proud to open its newest facility, the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute (PGI).

The first group of residents moved into PGI earlier this month, and classes officially started on January 9th for 300 students enrolled in programs in our School of Hospitality and Culinary Arts.

The Culinary Exchange café will start serving the public on January 15th, and Jane’s restaurant will open its doors on February 21st, which is also when a grand opening celebration will be held for this wonderful new addition to Red River College’s Exchange District Campus.

Several local media have featured stories on the facility over the past few weeks, including:

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, Anishininew, Dakota, and Dené, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
