About 2Spirit Manitoba Inc.:
2Spirit Manitoba Inc. (2SMB) is a not-for-profit organization with office located in Winnipeg, on Treaty 1 territory, on the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Dene, Dakota, Ininew, Anishininew, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
2SMB began in 1986 in Winnipeg, when a group of concerned community members came together to support each other and plan community events for our 2Spirit relatives. After many years of small-scale community support, we incorporated as a non-profit organization in March 2006. 2SMB is now a community-driven organization that focusses on helping 2Spirit & Indigenous LGBTQQIA+ (2SIQ) holistically improve their circumstances. We currently do this by providing awareness workshops, advocating to prevent and address systemic violence, hosting community events and ceremonies,
collaborating and partnering with other organizations, and consulting with organizations, government, and grassroots initiatives on how best to serve 2SIQ community.
2SMB is currently undergoing some essential shifts in practice, internal capacity building, and program development. This is an exciting time for expansion, growth, and connection!
