Reconciliation in Action.

SCO’s Wehwehneh Bahgahkinahgohn Project Reimagines Iconic Hudson’s Bay Heritage Building After HBC Governor Makes Historic Gift
A Bold Vision for a New Future
SCO is proud to announce its project to transform the iconic Hudson’s Bay Company (HBC) heritage building in downtown Winnipeg. Working closely with HBC and our federal, provincial, and municipal Treaty partners, SCO has developed a visionary plan that will turn the building into a space for economic and social reconciliation.
The Wehwehneh Bahgahkinahgohn project is the largest redevelopment of an historic building in Manitoba, and its revitalization will help to revive Winnipeg’s downtown.

HELPING ADULTS ACHIEVE ACADEMIC GOALS
For the first time ever, the Lawrence Sinclair Memorial School in the Kinonjeoshtegon First Nation, is playing host to adult learners.
Thanks to teachers Dennis Larond, Sharon Hansen, and Dwight Bercier, citizens now have access to an Adult Education program.
Students meet four evenings a week, studying and working toward earning their high school GED.
SCO commends these three education champions for putting in the extra hours to help their students of all ages realize their academic goals.
