The University of Manitoba is celebrating the official opening of Wiiji Bimoseyang Binesi (“Thunderbird Helping Them Walk”), a 10‑unit supported living complex for adults with disabilities and those experiencing homelessness. Developed in partnership with Sagkeeng First Nation, Indigenous leaders, and non-profit organizations, the facility offers a culturally grounded, community-based approach to care. Sagkeeng researchers Audrey Henderson and Sharon Courchene led the project in collaboration with UManitoba’s College of Rehabilitation Sciences and research students.
