ECRC will be closed Monday, September 7 in recognition of Labour Day.

Labour Day is more than the unofficial end of summer, it is an opportunity to recognize the generations of workers who helped shape the rights and protections many Canadians benefit from today.

💡 Did you know?

Canada’s Labour Day traditions can be traced back to 1872, when thousands of workers marched in support of the Toronto Typographical Union and the movement for a shorter working day. Labour Day was officially recognized as a national holiday in 1894.

And here in Winnipeg, we have an important place in Canadian labour history. In 1919, approximately 30,000 workers participated in the Winnipeg General Strike, advocating for better wages, working conditions and collective bargaining rights. The strike became one of the most significant events in Canadian labour history and helped influence conversations about workers’ rights for generations to come.

At ECRC, we see every day how access to meaningful employment, fair opportunities, safe workplaces and economic stability can strengthen individuals, families and entire communities.

This Labour Day, we recognize the workers, past and present, whose contributions continue to build our communities. 💙

Wishing everyone a safe and restful Labour Day!

🛠️ BUILDING THE ELMWOOD HUB AND INVESTING IN ELMWOOD ALONG THE WAY. 🏡

At ECRC, we believe community development should do more than create a new building. It should create opportunity, strengthen the local economy, and invest in the people who already call the community home.

That’s why Community Economic Development is an important part of our vision for the Elmwood Hub.

As the project moves forward, ECRC is committed to creating opportunities for local contractors, tradespeople, suppliers, and workers to be part of building the Hub whenever possible.

Because when we hire local, the impact reaches far beyond the construction site.

🔨 Local tradespeople gain meaningful work and experience
💼 Local businesses benefit from new opportunities
💰 More project dollars stay within the community
🤝 Relationships are built between organizations, businesses, and neighbours
🌱 Investment in the Hub becomes an investment in the broader Elmwood community

The Elmwood Hub will bring 115 social and market housing units to the neighbourhood, along with spaces designed to connect residents and community members with services, programs, resources, and one another.

But we also want the process of building the Hub to reflect the values behind it.

Community. Opportunity. Inclusion. Belonging.

We aren’t just asking, “What are we building?”

We’re also asking, “Who benefits while we build it?”

For ECRC, the answer should include the people, workers, families, and businesses that make Elmwood what it is.

🏡 Built in Elmwood. Built with community. Built for the future.

🌱 What’s in your control?

Resilience doesn’t mean pretending hard things aren’t hard. Sometimes, it starts with recognizing where we can put our energy.

The Circles of Control remind us that while we can’t control everything happening around us, we can focus on our choices, our responses, our boundaries, and the steps we take moving forward.

Join ECRC’s From Surviving to Thriving: Fostering Resiliency Group to explore practical tools for navigating challenges, strengthening coping skills, and building confidence in your ability to move forward.

📅 Tuesdays, September 15 – October 13
⏰ 5:30–7:30 PM
📍 Elmwood Community Resource Centre
Unit 203 – 1107 Munroe Avenue

You may not be able to control every circumstance—but you can strengthen how you respond to it. 💜

🧠 Trauma doesn’t just affect how we feel—it can also affect how our brain and body respond to the world around us.

Experiences of trauma can influence our stress response, emotions, memory, sense of safety, and the way we react to certain situations. Understanding the biology of trauma can be an important part of understanding ourselves and beginning to heal.

Join ECRC’s Healing from Trauma Group to learn more about how trauma can impact the brain and body, recognize your own responses, and explore practical tools for healing, coping, and moving forward.

💜 Healing isn’t about forgetting what happened. It’s about understanding its impact and building new ways to feel safe, grounded, and in control.

💜 What is a boundary?

Healthy boundaries start with knowing what feels acceptable to you—and giving yourself permission to say no when something doesn’t.

Being there for others should not mean constantly sacrificing your own needs, comfort, or well-being. Setting boundaries can help us protect our energy, communicate more clearly, and build healthier relationships.

Join ECRC’s Healthy Boundaries Group to explore how to recognize your limits, communicate them with confidence, and let go of the idea that taking care of yourself is something you need to feel guilty about.

✨ Be aware of what is unacceptable.
✨ Normalize saying no.
✨ Do what is best for you.
✨ Remember: you are not responsible for sacrificing yourself for others.

Boundaries aren’t about pushing people away—they’re about creating healthier ways to stay connected.

📅 Thursdays | September 17 – October 15

🌸 NEWCOMER WOMEN’S GROUP 🌸
A welcoming space to connect, share, and build community.

Moving to a new country can bring exciting opportunities—but it can also feel isolating at times. ECRC’s Newcomer Women’s Group creates a supportive space where women can come together, speak freely, share experiences, and build meaningful connections with others who understand the newcomer journey.

Each week, participants will have opportunities to:
💜 Connect with other newcomer women
💬 Share experiences, challenges, and successes in a supportive environment
🤝 Build friendships and develop a stronger support network
🌱 Learn from one another and grow in confidence
☕ Enjoy meaningful conversations in a relaxed and welcoming space

There is no pressure to have all the answers—sometimes simply having a space to feel heard, understood, and connected can make a difference.

📅 Every Wednesday
⏰ 5:15 PM – 7:15 PM

📞 For more information, contact Mame:

Come as you are, meet other women, and become part of a community where we support one another. 💜
