Is it defined by street signs and landmarks?

Is it the groups of people that form networks of friends, family and neighbours?

Or is community something beyond the physical - is it the spirit of pride, belonging and understanding that draws us together to create a genuine feeling of home?

At New Directions, we have a vision of community. Our vision is of a place where all people have well-being, are honoured and can dream. And our mission is to offer services that can help make that vision a reality. Because a healthy community will help define the health of those who live there.

Since 1885, New Directions has been evolving to meet the ever-changing needs of the Winnipeg community. We have redefined ourselves and our services to work better with children, youth, adults and families as they chart their own course within the community. We strive to offer everyone the same opportunities to achieve the life they've dreamed of - a life full of promise, potential, respect and self-worth.

Our actions and services are all defined according to our operating principles - principles based on the values of integrity, honour, holism and respect.
