About
Us
“Providing the means and opportunity
for Aboriginal residents of the North End to become directly
and meaningfully involved in renewal efforts within their
community, to build capacity and to continually develop leadership
roles within these efforts.”
Aboriginal Visioning was created to address
the need for a renewal project that incorporates and honours
the ideas of community members at a grassroots level. Aboriginal
Visioning is simply the vehicle for a strong and united Aboriginal
voice in the North End of Winnipeg.
All of our programming is created and led
by community members. By working alongside the community we
create strong relationships and leadership as we work towards
the common goal of a healthier and more holistic neighbourhood.
