Winnipeg council’s executive committee votes to reverse planned cut to community grant program

Thank you to everyone who showed up, wrote a letter or made a phone call to their city councillor and the mayor’s office to help retain funding for community work.

Community work is integral to the life of a city. It improves lives, offers opportunities to people, especially children and youth, who otherwise would not have a chance to try new things, and prevents crime.

We are thankful the council listened to your voices and reversed this decision.
