Social Planning Council
The Social Planning Council of Winnipeg (SPC) was founded in the turmoil preceding the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919. A group of citizens came together to identify and address the problems of a society undergoing rapid change.  Today, Winnipeg and SPC face new tension and needs. Health services, child and family poverty, Aboriginal issues, a need for more coordinated planning, a breakdown in race relations, affordable housing and the rejuvenation of the main street area are only some of the challenges that SPC is pursuing in the late nineties.

Workers Compensation Board of Manitoba
The workers' compensation system is an accident insurance system for employers and workers, established early in this century to replace the tort system (through the courts) for determining compensation for workplace injuries. Employers, who pay for the system, are not directly liable for the workplace injuries or diseases sustained by their workers. In turn, workers injured in the course of employment are automatically entitled to compensation regardless of fault. However, the workers give up their right of legal action against a potentially negligent employer in return for the certainty of no-fault benefits.
