Accessibility at the Gathering
The Gathering is an annual pay-what-you-can event where Manitoba’s community builders connect, learn, and celebrate success.
It is open to all from staff of community organizations, to students, funders, civil servants, academics, or anyone interested in community development and community economic development.
Join us on October 23, 2026 at St. John’s High School in Winnipeg!

Accessibility
Our vision of a future where there is “enough, for all, forever” really does mean for all. Increasing ease of access for people of every identity and ability and aligning our work with our values and vision of the future is at the heart of transforming our economy, systems, and practices.
We acknowledge this is a practice we have to keep working at, so we might not get it all right, but at the Gathering, we are continually learning and working to be in alignment with our values.
