Every few years, United Way of Winnipeg produces an environmental scan. This document pulls together relevant information – including demographic, economic and social trends – that help to inform the work of board members, volunteers and staff at United Way.
The information in the 2008 scan is drawn from a wide range of sources, including Census data, newspapers, and research done by other organizations, including government.
The document is available to anyone who’s interested in reading it. Many of the social issues highlighted in the scan are issues that have been raised by Urban Exchange participants. Here’s a sample of the topics covered in the scan:
Demographic and social trends
- The Aboriginal community
- Tomorrow’s seniors
- Poverty
- Crime and youth gangs
Economic trends
- The economy
- Manitoba’s labour force
To download the scan, please visit the United Way of Winnipeg website.

We need to change Winnipeg. First of all, to reduce poverty and increase rich. How to change it? I think to create more job for Winnipegers and add their income, to get more opportunity of education for youth and all people.
