Our office is currently open, and we have taken several proactive measures to address the challenges that COVID-19 brings and avoid any disruption to our services. We are working very hard to protect the health of all our employees and guests such as:
– Regularly disinfecting handles, doors, and common surfaces
– Providing hand sanitizer and cleaning wipes when available
– Ensuring social distance protocols for staff to work safely
– Communicating with member Friendship Centres, partners and employees via Zoom, email, and telephone

Manitoba’s Friendship Centre’s include:
– Brandon Friendship Centre
– Dauphin Friendship Centre
– Elbert Chartrand Friendship Centre
– Flin Flon Friendship Centre
– Lynn Lake Friendship Centre
– Ma-Mow-We-Tak Friendship Centre
– Portage La Prairie Friendship Centre
– Riverton Friendship Centre
– Selkirk Friendship Centre
– The Pas Friendship Centre
– Winnipeg Friendship Centre Program

Each individual Friendship Centre has a governing Board of Directors and an Executive Director. These teams will coordinate any actions that they are taking with the COVID 19 virus as they deem appropriate.

We recommend that people check in on your Elders and elderly, and other vulnerable people in your community.
