Person-centered Supports

Gizhe Waa Ti-Sii-Win Service Expo

The Gizhe Waa Ti-Si-Win Service Expo is a one-day, community-led event that brings together essential services under one roof to support individuals experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness, or simply in need of support.

Rooted in the Anishinaabemowin spirit of care and generosity, Gizhe Waa Ti-Si-Win meaning "Working with love, kindness and generosity for others", offers a seamless, welcoming space where people can access multiple services without barriers.

Launched by End Homelessness Winnipeg in 2018, the Expo has grown each year, reaching over 700 guests in 2019 and hitting record participation of up to 1500 so far. With the support of local agencies, volunteers, and service providers from across sectors, the Expo reflects what's possible when we come together in community.
