This training is presented by the Main Street Area Action Plan (MSAAP).
The MSAAP is a coalition of community-based organizations, non-profit, community advocates, and governmental partners working to build spaces for community where all people feel safe and connected to one another and the neighbourhood. The plan aims to enliven Winnipeg's Main Street area with a sense of love and hope, through access to housing, health services, recreation, cultural connections, and natural and built beauty. This training is meant for people who live and/or work in areas directly adjacent to CARE either by sharing the map and/or specifying the exchange, point douglas, and centennial neighbourhoods with the heart of the area being the Thunderbird House. The Main Street Area Action Plan is generously funded by the Winnipeg Foundation through the Community Area for Revitalization and Equity – C.A.R.E. Find out more at msaap.org
