On October 24, join us in Winnipeg for the Gathering 2025 –Imagining Our Future: Moving to Transformative Action – a one-of-a-kind annual event for Manitoba community builders.
The Gathering is an annual pay-what-you-can event where Manitoba’s community builders connect, learn, and celebrate success through a diverse range of workshops, panels, and presentations.
It is open to all, from staff of community organizations to civil servants, funders, students, academics, or anyone interested in community development and community economic development.
This year’s theme:
Imagining Our Future: Moving to Transformative Action
We are surrounded by big threats – the climate crisis is intensifying, threats internally and externally to our democracy and sovereignty are a daily occurrence, and we are bearing witness to an assault on human rights globally. This is where many of us as Manitobans sit right now.
To overcome these big threats, we need to move to transformative action to envision a new future and build a space that is equitable, innovative, and just for all.
The learning opportunities of the 23rd edition of the Gathering will explore transformative action through the lens of Community Economic Development. Participants will benefit from peer learning and networking, and be challenged by speakers to shape our future as community builders.
