About this Event
Canada’s churches face a crossroads—aging congregations, limited funds, and underused properties put one-third of faith buildings at risk of closure this decade. Winnipeg’s Shared Ground Project is helping faith communities transform land into affordable housing and vibrant spaces.
Connect with city officials, funders, heritage experts, community and religious leaders to explore bold possibilities, share insights, and identify potential redevelopment sites. Let’s reimagine faith properties for lasting impact and renewed purpose.
