This centre belongs to all of us and stands as a testament to the strength and resilience of people in western Manitoba.” Launched in 2024, From the Ground Up – Safe Healthy Communities for All supports a broad range of projects including community capacity building, community economic development, well-being and recreation as well as housing and safety co-ordination supports, noted the minister.
