A separately governed entity. Incorporated under The Corporations Act (Manitoba) on May 7, 2025, as a non-share non-profit. Four Directions Wapamew Inc. is the founding incorporator, not the owner — the Foundation is run by its own board and holds no shares to be owned. Registry No. 10232100.

WHAT WE DO, RIGHT NOW

Two things in motion. One mandate behind them.

OUR MANDATE

Wellness, Rooted in Culture

Trauma-informed, culturally grounded wellness programming is part of our founding mandate. We're building toward it alongside our housing work.

VISION · NOT YET ACTIVE

Where we're headed.

Longer term, we're exploring a community wellness space that brings housing, healing, and care together under one roof, Indigenous-governed from the ground up. This is early-stage: no site is secured, no program is operating, and nothing here should be read as a current service. We'll update this page as that changes.

Non-profit by charter, not by claim. The Foundation operates without pecuniary gain to its members; any surplus is used solely to advance the mission. If the Foundation is ever wound down, its remaining assets go to other qualified Indigenous-led or Indigenous-serving organizations under the Income Tax Act — never to an individual, and never to Four Directions Wapamew Inc.
