Open Doors at Manitoba Start

Open Doors: Connecting Members, Building Community

Presented by MANSO in partnership with Red River College Polytech

The Open Doors Series is an initiative designed to strengthen connections across Manitoba’s newcomer-serving sector. At each event in this series, one of our member organizations will open their doors, inviting peers to tour their space, explore their programs and gain deeper insight into how they support newcomers.

Following each tour, join us for Q&A, networking and meaningful conversations that build stronger relationships across our network.

This Open Doors will be held at Manitoba Start. 

Manitoba Start provides centralized intake, needs assessment, and settlement referrals for newcomers arriving in Winnipeg, connecting them to the services and supports they need to settle successfully. They also offer free career services, employment preparation, and job matching to help newcomers build their careers in Manitoba.
