A new, 24-hour, Indigenous-led warming space has been announced by End Homelessness Winnipeg and its partners.
The site, named N’Dinawemak — Our Relatives’ Place, is located at 190 Disraeli Fwy. and can give up to 150 people a warm place to sleep this winter.
End Homelessness Winnipeg said the indoor site is also wheelchair-accessible and provides showers and food.
A number of other local Indigenous organizations have been involved in the effort to make N’Dinawemak a reality, along with support from the municipal and provincial governments, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and more.
