The North Point Douglas Women’s Centre began as a project in 2000, sponsored by the Social Planning Council of Winnipeg. The North Point Douglas Project for Women was developed as an empowerment project in recognition of women’s generally unequal position in society, their unique needs, and the important role they have in planning at the community level to enhance social, economic, and environmental conditions for themselves and their families.
From the project grew the North Point Douglas Women’s Centre and in 2002 we moved into our current location on Austin Street. The Centre is envisioned by community women to be a hub where women and their families can gather in a safe and welcoming space, building friendships, and providing access to needed resources and programs.
Over time, and with a great deal of hard work and courageous hearts, staff and financial resources have grown alongside the needs of the community, but it is always a struggle to keep up. The Women’s Centre remains committed to supporting community members where they are at, in a process that is community led, compassionate, and culturally safe.
The Women’s Centre continues to prioritize the safety, healing, and matriarchal leadership of the women of North Point Douglas, confident that the voices of our grandmothers, mothers, sisters and aunts will help restore the balance that has been lost through violence, racism, and poverty.
