Annual Report

Aniin,

As the winter solstice approaches, the year end is a great time for reflection. The 2022 year has been quite the year, filled with many positives and we are grateful for the opportunity to connect with the community through the computer lab, our many community programs, and campus events. This past year most of our programs were offered in person with only the Anishinaabe language classes remaining online. It has been great to see many people in person and to return to hosting our annual holiday dinner in person.

Since June, with the added responsibilities of being Acting Lead for Indigenous Engagement, I have to acknowledge the tremendous job of the WiiChii team, our volunteers, and partners for all of the ways they contributed to ensuring our programs continued to grow and flourish.

As always, our team is thankful for the organizations, partners, generous supporters and funders who share the vision of the Centre to light pathways to education for underrepresented youth. Supporting that vision this year, we acknowledge that CanCode became our largest funder of our STEAM outreach programs. We also received increased support from the amazing folks at the Winnipeg Foundation, Kingfisher Foundation, and our wonderful friend Jennifer Roblin and her network who partake in the Tea for WiiChii.

On behalf of the team, I hope you enjoy this look back at the work we are privileged to do.
