Tools & Training for Barrier Free Events

Asian Women of Winnipeg (AWOW) is proud to launch the “Manitoba’s Accessible Celebrations Initiative: Tools and Training for Barrier-Free Events.” Hands-on workshops designed to equip you with the tools and knowledge to deliver accessible, culturally sensitive, and inclusive events.

This project, supported by the Manitoba Accessibility Fund, is dedicated to making cultural events across Manitoba more inclusive, accessible, and welcoming—for everyone.
