Employment Opportunity:

Property Manager (One-year term position)

The West Central Women's Resource Centre (WCWRC) provides services and programming to women, gender diverse people and their families in the West Central neighbourhood of Winnipeg. WCWRC is women centered and practices empowerment, inclusion, harm reduction, multi-level, and community economic development philosophies to support women experiencing poverty, homelessness, mental illness, violence, substance use or participating in sex work.

The West Central Women's Resource Centre is committed to inclusion and equity and strives to ensure that our staff team reflects the diversity of the community we serve.
