The clinic is once a month and is open to client self-referrals and referrals from health providers for individuals 16 years of age and older living within the Prairie Mountain Health Region.

Affirming Your Identity

This resource was developed to increase accessibility to gender-affirming care. Affirming your identity can take many forms. Often, this includes the daunting process of legally changing your name and gender designation on various government documents.

 

This resource aims to help folks:

  • Feel more comfortable and confident in their identity.

  • Support Trans people in their community by compiling this information in one place.

  • Know what resources and supports are currently available.

  • Because they may be struggling, looking for hope, or anything to help.

  • Because they matter!

Manitoba Pride Alliance

The Manitoba Pride Alliance (MPA) was launched in January 2024 underneath Pride Winnipeg’s organizational umbrella. The Manitoba Pride Alliance encourages collaboration and networking between rural, remote, and grassroots Pride organizations from all corners of the Province of Manitoba.

  • Establish a province-wide community for 2SLGBTQ+ organizations that produce Pride events, such as a parade, march, rally, festival, arts or cultural activity, social event, or activity organized for those who identify as 2SLGBTQ+.

  • Build and support vibrant and strong Manitoban 2SLGBTQ+ communities through collaboration, support, networking, resource sharing and advocacy.

  • Encourage learning from one another by sharing experience, knowledge, and best practices around 2SLGBTQ+ activities and events.

  •  Build unity in the Pride movement throughout Manitoba through education, programming, resources, networking, representation, and funding opportunities.

Westman
Empowerment Fund

The Westman Empowerment Fund was created to assist transgender, non-binary, two-spirit, and other gender-diverse individuals who reside in Westman, by targeting financial barriers to their transition-related care.

Over time, partnerships were established with the Sexuality Education Resource Centre (SERC), Smitten, and Brandon Pride. 

The Westman Empowerment Fund's first initiative to give back its community was a one-time chest binder giveaway done in December 2023, in partnership with Smitten.

 

Today, the Fund continues to build its slate of programming, as well as its fundraising capabilities, with hopes of fostering the strength and vibrancy of Westman's trans and gender-diverse community.
