Land acknowledgment
The Westshore Community Foundation works within the homeland of the Red River Métis and on the traditional lands of the Dakota, Anishanabek, Anishinaabe, and Swampy Cree people which area is all within the lands set out in Treaties One and Two. We thank these Indigenous Peoples for the gift of our use of this land. (We also acknowledge that the Province in which we operate, Manitoba, contains Inuit people and Dene, Cree, Oji-Cree and other First Nations peoples.)
Together we do more FOR OUR COMMUNITY
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.
