It began in the beginning and has been so named…
On January 4, 2015, NGCI incorporated 1936815 Alberta Ltd with the purpose of opening a new ‘start up’ café business that will be managed under the new name of “Pemiciso Café & Bistro”. After conducting a primary survey in the community on naming the Café, the Pemiciso name turned out to be a favorite that is unique and true to the Cree nation while teaching the meaning of a Cree term used to describe an activity that people love to do everyday – to sit, and eat.
The Pemiciso Café & Bistro is expected to open its doors before the end of the month of October 2017, after renovations, staff training, and after the seating area is set up.
The Pihtwahew & Gift Shop will also be opening in the month of October when all licences are in place, inventory is delivered, and furniture is installed – and not necessarily in that order. The Pihtwahew & Gift Shop will be open for the public and will be selling cigarettes; tobacco; accessories. Pendleton Blankets; towels; mugs and travel mugs. Beaded earrings and jewellery; other light gifts will be added and some confectionary items such as chips; gum; drinks and Pemiciso Café & Bistro made sandwiches from the grab n go cooler. We are pleased to be at your service and look forward to seeing you drop in and find that perfect gift or to shop for convenience.
Ay-hiy! Ekosi!
