CCEDNet Manitoba’s Gathering of Community Builders

The Gathering is a day filled with hope to anchor you to others working to challenge the status quo and build positive alternatives.

Throughout the day, greater collaboration between and among community builders will be facilitated, solidified, and propelled toward a collective vision for change.

Through our relationships, connections, and organizing together, our communities can be sites of social and economic transformation.

Join us on 20 October 2023 at St. John’s High School in Winnipeg to fuel your learning, weave connections, and take collaborative action for communities and local economies that benefit everyone.

Online registration closes on Wednesday, October 18 at 11:59 pm CT.

Walk up registration is available on Friday, October 20 beginning at 8:30 am at St. John’s High School.

Accessibility and Health & Safety information

The Gathering 2022 was a momentous event – over 325 community builders came together in Winnipeg to collaborate, learn, connect, and celebrate.

The Gathering has been hosted for a milestone 20 years, originally a project of CCEDNet Manitoba and United Way Winnipeg. Now, CCEDNet Manitoba hosts the event with support from a group of fantastic community leaders from a variety of organizations.

This was the first in-person Gathering since the start of the pandemic, and our time together focused on the power of JOY – how we use it to connect to each other and strengthen our community building organizations and movements.
