Indigenous Land Acknowledgement
Winnipeg is located within Treaty No. 1 Territory, the traditional lands of the Anishinaabe (Ojibway), Ininew (Cree), Oji-Cree, Dene, and Dakota, 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
Building a Better 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.
AFC: RENEW. (re)Imagine.
The neighbourhood we operate in is vastly underserved, and at present, there is no community centre. There are a number of available supports for people facing immediate homelessness and some limited childcare supports, but no services for individuals and families living in the neighbourhood, especially Indigenous community members.
The Renew. (re)Imagine. campaign is about to change all of that through the redevelopment, renovation, and revitalization of the Annishinaabe Fellowship Centre.
There are 5 Phases to complete this project, and we need your help to finish funding Phase 1. Currently we have raised over $330,000.00 towards our $500,000.00 tendered goal. We’re nearly there!
This will bring the arts to life in our neighbourhood while providing opportunities for traditional Indigenous teachings.
