Our District has a HIP Committee which encourages clubs to engage and act on the Truth and Reconciliation Calls to Action. The work is more important now more than ever in building understanding and respectful relationships. We can build a better tomorrow for everyone. It is a shared future. We can be the voice of our community. Learning – build understanding – create awareness Winnipeg group has contributed to northern communities with many donations of various types – books, skates, groceries, clothing, learning packages.
As a club we will discuss opportunities and possibilities in the future with our planning.
