The Community Action Training (CAT) program is designed to help community members develop the skills they need to stand up for their rights and take leadership on issues important to them.

Take part with a group of your peers 1 day a week for 10 weeks of learning from experts in their fields on topics around advocacy and how to become a leader in our community.

Who is this for?

Priority will be given to those who have lived experience of poverty, injustice of inequality. However, anyone in our community can request to take the training.

How will this help me in the real world?

Navigating our local resources and social systems is complicated. The goal of this program is to empower you to bring positive change to your neighbourhood.

After you complete the 8 weeks you can choose to go on to do 2 additional days of training for more in depth learning on how to become an Office Advocate at Central Station.

What do office advocates do?

Our advocacy office allows community members to use their newly learned skills to help others that come to Central Station looking for assistance. Advocates listen and support their peers in accessing resources and getting help with what they need.

Advocates can help with:

• Housing support
• Income assistance
• Low-income supports
• Community resources
• Addiction services
• Physical and Mental Health Services

Starting September 21st, 2023, join us for a free 10-week course to learn about different local resources and how to navigate them. Participants who complete 7 out of the 10 sessions will receive a certificate. A free lunch will be provided. Childcare and transportation are available upon request. Email amber@winklercentralstation.ca or call 204-325-0257 for more information or to sign up!

Central Station Community Centre took over the property management duties for the Winkler Affordable Housing units beginning in January of 2018. Additionally, we have taken on the management of the 65 Manitoba Housing units in Winkler as of August 2018.

The Social Housing program provides low-income Manitobans in the greatest need with subsidized housing. Manitoba Housing and Winkler Affordable Housing have a limited supply of rental properties and therefore applicants are housed based on core housing needs. This includes affordability, suitability, and adequacy of your current housing situation.

To apply for housing, please download and fill out the application

If you would like more information on low-income housing, please contact us at 204-325-0257 or email housing@winklercentralstation.ca
