Since 2018, the Gizhe Waa Ti-Sii-Win Expo has grown into a volunteer-driven, community-led gathering rooted in care, collaboration, and shared responsibility.
At Gizhe, service providers from across Winnipeg come together to offer free essential supports to individuals and families experiencing or at risk of houselessness. Guided by the spirit of Gizhe Waa Ti-Sii-Win, meaning ‘working with love, kindness, and generosity for others‘, the Expo creates a space where people can access support, build connections, and be treated with dignity.
Each year, volunteers, organizations, and community partners come together with a shared purpose, to ensure that those who need support can find it in one place, in a way that is welcoming and respectful.
We look forward to another meaningful gathering this year.
