About

Block by Block Community Safety and Wellbeing Initiative is a Manitoba Government Initiative in collaboration with Manitoba Justice, Manitoba Families, Manitoba Education and Training, Manitoba Health, Living and Seniors, the City of Winnipeg, Winnipeg Regional Health Authority, Winnipeg School Division, Winnipeg Police Services, RCMP and Community Based Organizations. In summary, Block by Block is about:

• Collaboration - working together, learning from each other, building relationships, linking organizations and agencies, improving communication, and shared decision making
• Mobilizing and coordinating resources and services to better support individuals/families
• Improving community safety through enhancing individual/family well being
• Removing systemic and policy barriers to service delivery
• Doing things differently

The first project of the Block by Block Initiative is Thunderwing.
