“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.
