Indigenous Land Acknowledgement
Winnipeg is located within Treaty No. 1 Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe, Ininiwak, and Dakota Oyate peoples, and is the Birthplace of the Métis Nation and the Heart of the Métis Nation Homeland. For centuries, Winnipeg was the meeting place of thousands of Indigenous peoples throughout North America. The effects of colonialism, genocide, and intergenerational trauma are still felt deeply today. Truth and Reconciliation is essential for WICM.
WICM
Where We're Building a Brighter Future
for an inner-city community where individuals, children, and their families have greater opportunities to break the cycle of poverty. We embrace all people in Winnipeg’s inner-city, inspiring life-long learning, and building social and personal well-being.

Where We're Growing Together
Join us in September as we open our new Indigenous Arts & Cultural Centre in Winnipeg's inner-city!
AFC's IACC will bring the arts to life in our neighbourhood while providing opportunities for traditional Indigenous teachings.
Pride is needed because...
2 Spirited people are still significantly more likely to be made homeless before reaching adult hood, to be sexually abused, and to be murdered than their straight counterparts.
Queer people in Canada are still the subject of employment discrimination, healthcare discrimination, education discrimination, and victims of hate crimes.
2SLGBTQIAA+ people are still victims of police brutality at rates higher than their straight counterparts.

Moving Forward
In our First Steps to Independence Program we offer support to adults struggling with social and financial stability who are looking to take steps towards upgrading their education, achieving financial security, and living independently.
