Our Mission: North Point Douglas Women’s Centre walks with women to strengthen their voice, make change, and engage in our community. N.

The North Point Douglas Women's Centre is a community non-profit organization based in the North Point Douglas neighbourhood, which is part of Winnipeg's North End. Our Vision: A safe, healthy, vibrant community for women and families. NPDWC has served the North Point Douglas community since the early 2000’s, first as the North Point Douglas Project for Women based in Norquay School then moving to our current building at 221 Austin St. Our work focuses on meeting women where they are at and walking alongside them through the successes and challenges in their lives. We offer a variety of programs and supports that respond to needs identified by the community. Our Drop-In is the first point of contact for participants – from there, they can access basic needs supports, resources and referrals, basic advocacy, and a safe space to relax, socialize, and build connections with their neighbours. In the evening, the Drop-In becomes our program space. NPDWC offers programs that cover topics like healing from interpersonal violence and abuse, community safety, family stability, grief, and social change. At the request of the women in the community, we also offer our services to men during limited hours and have a biweekly men’s sharing circle. We are a non-Indigenous organization, but we serve a majority-Indigenous population. As such, traditional Indigenous knowledge and ceremony is at the heart of what we do. Our Knowledge Keeper conducts ceremonies for community members and program participants, consults on the guiding principles of our work, hosts quarterly ceremonies to mark the changing of the seasons, gives spiritual support and guidance to community members, and much more. Our Traditional Helper/Counsellor uses the medicine wheel in her work and is a practitioner of the Seven Sacred Ways of Healing Trauma. Over the years, our services and staff team have grown alongside the community. We have reached a point where our current building is too small to continue that growth, and we are currently working toward securing a new space. The Women’s Centre continues to prioritize the safety, healing, and matriarchal leadership of the women of North Point Douglas, confident that the voices of our grandmothers, mothers, sisters and aunts will help restore the balance that has been lost through violence, racism and poverty. If you would like to make a financial contribution to our work, head to npdwc.org/donate to access our secure credit card form (hosted by CanadaHelps) and information on other ways to donate!

Thank you to everyone who attended or otherwise supported our Annual Community Gathering yesterday! Special thanks to Minister Nahanni Fontaine and community member Laurie Favell for speaking at the event, as well as Elders Angela Roulette, Mae Louise Campbell, Linda Chisholm, and Sheila Hillier for helping us honour our path forward in a good way.

We are thrilled to share that, with the support of the Government of Manitoba’s Mino'Ayaawag Ikwewag: All Women Doing Well strategy, we have acquired 197 Euclid Ave as a future development site for North Point Douglas Women’s Centre. Demolition of the existing structure is underway, and we continue to explore opportunities to further expand.

This investment in organization is an investment in the community of North Point Douglas; we are so grateful for the opportunity to move our collective vision for NPDWC forward.

There was a lot to celebrate at North Point Douglas Women’s Centre’s AGM today. 💜

Alongside their new 2026–2029 strategic plan, the Centre shared exciting news about its future. Minister Nahanni Fontaine announced nearly $600,000 through Mino’Ayaawag Ikwewag, “All Women Doing Well,” to help the Centre take its next steps toward expanded space and housing.

“Our women deserve to be celebrated. They deserve to have beautiful space. They deserve to be safe. They deserve to thrive,” Minister Fontaine shared.

What stayed with us was the care behind that vision. Executive Director Melissa Chung-Mowat spoke about staff showing up for community while carrying grief of their own, and how partnerships have helped make room for both staff and community to receive support.

We’re proud to support the Centre’s work through Reaching Home funding. Thank you for welcoming us, and for the heart you bring to supporting women and families in North Point Douglas. We look forward to seeing this vision grow.
