Manitoba 11
"Geographically we're a large province, but population-
wise we're a small and very connected province that really is
focused on relationships. The joke is that we all know each
other, so I think we talk to each other and we share a lot of
stories. We get excited about what each other is working on in
the community," Taylor says.
"We're also able to mobilize quite quickly. We can get a lot of
different thinkers and problem-solvers around the table."
At the same time, Taylor says it's important to recognize the
cultural diversity throughout Manitoba.
"We have many strong communities — including Mennonite,
Islamic, French Catholic, Jewish and Indigenous communities
— that have philanthropy as a core value," she says.
"I think it's a core value of Manitobans. If you look at who we are as people,
we tend to look out for each other and support each other."

engagement for The Winnipeg Foundation
