2024 Expo took place Friday, September 13th at 190 Disraeli – N’Dinawemak.
During the 2023 Expo, more than 1,200 people participated. Gitchi Miigwetch to all guests, volunteers, service providers, donors and sponsors for making this event a huge success!
The Gizhe Waa Tii-Si-Win Service Expo is a ground-breaking, volunteer-driven, community-based initiative. At the Expo, service providers come together across sectors, on one day and in one place, to deliver essential, dignity-enhancing services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, for free. The event’s name aptly means “working with love, kindness and generosity for others” in Anishinaabemowin.
End Homelessness Winnipeg initiated the first Gizhe Waa Ti-Sii-Win Service Expo in 2018, in partnership with the Manitoba Financial Empowerment Network and local agencies. The first Service Expo took place at the Neeginan Centre. More than 500 guests and 100 volunteers participated. The second annual Gizhe Waa Ti-Sii-Win Service Expo took place at the Salvation Army Weetamah in 2019, welcoming more than 700 guests.
The success of this event demonstrates the level of need in our community as well as the challenges individuals can face when trying to access essential supports and services. Through collective action, service providers across sectors can positively impact and transform our community to create sustainable change. Join in!
