Arts and cultural groups are members of The Pas Arts Council and conduct programming specific to their mandates.

About KB Coffe:
KB Coffee is a dream I had that could blend two of the things I am most passionate about. 1. Specialty coffee but, more importantly, 2. Advocating for MMIWG.
In 2019, my little sister Kendara Ballantyne was missing and later found dead. She was/is one of the people I love most in this life and the loss was devastating. It took me awhile to find myself again but I did it with the help of my family. Family is the most valuable thing to me and I knew that I wanted to honour Kendara in my own special way. KB Coffee first started as a coffeehouse that was held this past year during the Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival as a way to bring awareness to Kendara’s case and honour her memory. Then I started to set up at a couple smaller events. As I continued, the urging from family and customers to start a coffee shop began. But, I want it to be more than just a place to get great coffee. I want to enrich the community as an Indigenous woman and continue creating awareness of MMIWG.
As of now, I am starting small with pop up shops every now and then and will work towards upgrading to a mobile shop and, one day, a physical Café! I have so many hopes for the future of KB Coffee and I’m thankful to everyone that is starting this journey with me… this is just the beginning!
