WINNIPEG – A new family care centre is coming to Winnipeg, and it will be the first in Canada to be led by Indigenous people.
The centre, which is expected to open in 2025, will provide a range of services to families in the city, including childcare, parenting support, and access to health and social services.
The centre will be located in the West End of Winnipeg, and it will be operated by the Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre, a non-profit organization that provides services to Indigenous families.
The centre is being funded by the federal government, the provincial government, and the City of Winnipeg.
