In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work, and build homes on Treaty 1 territory, the ancestral homelands of the Ojibway, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and the birthplace and homeland of the Métis Nation. We acknowledge that our water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. We recognize the past and are committed to moving forward in partnership with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit to continue the reconciliation and healing process.

St John Ambulance onboards Therapy Dog Teams (handler and dog) so they can visit staff and clients in the community. Through petting, affection, and visitation, many people benefit both mentally and physically from the unconditional love of a therapy dog.
There is no official dress code at the conference, but we do recommend business casual for conference activities during the day. Please remember temperatures in venue meeting rooms vary and you many want to bring a light sweater.
Thank you Habitat for Humanity Manitoba!
