Transitioning to a better future

Transition Winnipeg (TW) is a community-led initiative to increase our quality of life, make the local economy more resilient and adapt to contemporary challenges -- a changing climate, more expensive oil and fewer non-renewable resources. The transition movement is community-led. Anyone can be involved and everyone is invited, regardless of background, age, or experience.

Please contact us to get involved in any related groups and projects, including: 

TW acts as a hub for a number of neighbourhood initiatives, including Sustainable South Osborne and Transition North Winnipeg. If you would like to join or begin a Transition group in your neighbourhood, please email us at transitionwinnipeg [at] gmail.

Thanks to Assiniboine Credit Union for their support through the Sustainable Commmunity Grant Program.
