Tunngasugit open for drop-ins 4 days a week in North End
A non-profit offering services for Inuit living in Winnipeg has now opened the doors of its new location for drop-ins.
Clients of the Tunngasugit Inuit Resource Centre can now go to its centre at 618 Selkirk Ave. to access everything from laundry services to computers they can use to search for housing or jobs.
Tunngasugit moved to the new 18,000-square-foot location — the former home of the Ukrainian Canadian Veterans Branch in the William Whyte neighbourhood — after receiving $1 million from the federal government.
CEO Nikki Komaksiutiksak said Thursday the centre’s previous location on Sargent Avenue was considerably smaller: about 1,200 square feet, or roughly the size of a two-bedroom house.
