The University of Manitoba Indigenous Commerce Students
The University of Manitoba Indigenous Commerce Students (UMICS) is a student group for those who identify with or have a common interest in enhancing Indigenous culture within the Asper School of Business. As business leaders, we aim to create a sense of community by forging partnerships with organizations within and surrounding the University of Manitoba.
What isn’t well known about our group is that it is not exclusive to students who identify as Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, or Inuit). Anyone who shares our common interest in Indigenous culture is welcome as a part of UMICS. Interested in learning more about and helping to promote our culture? Join our stag here.

Bannock Panic with KPMG
Join us on December 7th, 2021 from 6-7 PM for a virtual bannock making tutorial with KPMG!
During the virtual bannock making tutorial, we will be making a dessert bannock, inspired by a local, Indigenous-owned restaurant called Feast Cafe Bistro. We will be adding our own twist by topping the bannock with “sucre à la crème”, which is a popular treat among Métis people that is similar to caramel. The bannock recipe we will be using is a family recipe that was generously shared with us by our member, Jenny Moose.
