The South Winnipeg & St. Norbert Community Centres are committed to ensuring a safe experience for everyone in our facility, from participants to staff, volunteers and guests. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to meet the requirements mandated by the most recent Manitoba Public Health Orders.
