Land acknowledgment

The Westshore Community Foundation catchment area is located on Treaty One and Treaty Two lands; the traditional homelands of the Dakota, Anishanabek, Anishinaabe, Oji-Cree, Cree, Dene, Lakota and the homeland of the Red River Metis. Westshore Community Foundation proudly acknowledges our role in the many relationships that make up our home and commits to a spirit of reconciliation for the future.

We respect the spirit and intent of the Treaties and remain committed to working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit and Metis people in the spirit of truth, reconciliation and collaboration.

Westshore Community Foundation was pleased to host an event on April 26th, 2024 to celebrate our 25th Anniversary.
We were thankful to have so many current and former board members there!

Who We Are

The Westshore Community Foundation Inc., incorporated in 1998, is an enduring charitable organization created to build a permanent capital fund which supports registered charities and individuals. Our foundations serve large and small urban centres and rural communities. Philanthropy is alive and well in our areas and your contribution to the Westshore Foundation will provide a lasting legacy.

The Westshore Community Foundation is part of a much larger group of Foundations in Canada. The first Foundation was established in Canada in 1921. Today, Foundations span the country from Vancouver Island to Prince Edward Island. They increase the capital fund which in turn will offer even greater support to the ongoing needs of those groups and individuals who are striving to make our communities better.

The Westshore Foundation name is derived from the location of the old Hospital District on the western shores of Lake Winnipeg. The logo depicts a traditional lighthouse on the shoreline. The communities of Riverton, Gimli, Fraserwood, Winnipeg Beach, and Dunnottar are included in the area served by the Foundation.
