Funding for Small Centre Programs
MANSO has IRCC funding to support the travel of small centre programs to attend the gathering. We welcome partner organizations based in Winnipeg that have a provincial scope/mandate to join us at the gathering, but we do not have funds available to subsidize travel.
MANSO can cover costs for up to two participants from each small centre program. Programs are welcome to register additional participants at their own cost.
