Advisory Committee

The Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre is guided and informed in all aspects of its work by members of our volunteer advisory committee, who represent Winnipeg’s diverse Aboriginal and inner-city communities. To date, members include representatives from the community, public education professionals, social service organizations, and experts who bring community-based and organizational experience to the committee.

Together, with our advisory committee to date, and our many partners and collaborators, we will begin to implement the strategic goals to best take advantage of our unique position in pursuit of community and University expectations.
