MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Volunteers put up a teepee outside Siloam Mission at the start of the day long Gizhe Waa Tii-Si-Win Expo. The Gizhe Waa Tii-Si-Win Expo is a volunteer-driven, community-based initiative. At the Expo, service providers come together across sectors, on one day and in one place, to deliver essential, dignity-enhancing services for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, for free. The event’s name means “working with love, kindness and generosity for others” in Anishinaabemowin. See Tyler Searle story 231017 - Tuesday, October 17, 2023.
