Larsen Family Care Centre

Agreement Number:

Agreement Value:

$4,270,324.00

Agreement Date:

Jun 4, 2025 - Mar 31, 2029

Description:

The Larsen Family Care Centre project redevelops a community centre in Winnipeg's Elmwood neighbourhood so it can serve the community. It will be Manitoba's first dedicated, Indigenous-led Family Care Centre as well as a community drop-in space, offering family-strengthening and youth programs, a welcoming gathering place, a round room and access to green space that can also be used for ceremony. It will offer a range of family resources, supports and programs to nurture children and keep families safe and strong. The project builds on the success of Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata's Family Group Conferencing program that has a 96.5% success rate of keeping families together. The project will see the existing building retrofitted with the addition of a ceremony room, update mechanical systems to improve energy efficiency over National Energy Code of Canada for Buildings (NECB) targets, increase accessibility and improve safety. It will create opportunities to build a more vibrant, inclusive community for all, where people are healthy and thriving.
