Sistars in North Point Douglas

Sistars in North Point Douglas SISTARS is a grassroots community organization which works to reduce the effects of poverty experienced by families in North Point Douglas.

SISTARS is a non-profit, volunteer organization that owns and operates 99 Euclid Avenue in North Point Douglas Winnipeg. We support community by providing quality licenced childcare for fifty-five children in an economically depressed area. We provide educational opportunities through financial support and practicum positions and provide secure employment as direct outcomes of our program Eagle Wi

ng Early Education Centre. We own, operate and maintain Barber House, an award winning Heritage building that is over 100 years old, adaptively designed to integrate with our childcare centre built in 2010. Barber House is provided at low-cost rent to community groups. Through our building and community garden we provide a safe, inclusive and accessible neighbourhood place that supports community development and supports opportunities for intergenerational learning. History
SISTARS (Sisters Initiating Steps Towards a Renewed Society) started with the idea that local women could make a difference to alleviate poverty in their neighbourhood. Starting with kitchen-table conversations, the original members identified poverty, lack of child care, lack of access to education and training, housing and food security challenges as common experiences shared by many people in Point Douglas. As grass-roots activists, we coordinated a survey of over 200 homes in the area and held community meetings to identify concerns shared by people in the neighbourhood. Vision
SISTARS is a symbol of regeneration and transformation in North Point Douglas. The 99 Euclid HUB began with a vision to restore and reuse a Heritage building that had been impacted by multiple fires and was surrounded by over an acre of derelict property. Through the restoration and construction of a new child care centre and community room, we provide a safe and accessible neighbourhood place. Nurturing the potential of children and families is our way of connecting to community and empowering change.

The AGM is tonight at 5:30pm in the Barber House. All are welcome to attend.
