About Valour
Three neighbourhood centres.
One shared community.
Valour Community Centre brings people together through welcoming spaces, accessible programs and deep roots in Winnipeg’s West End.
Our story
Stronger together since 2006.
Valour Community Centre was formed when the Clifton, Isaac Brock and Orioles community centres came together under one organization.
The amalgamation protected all three neighbourhood spaces while creating a larger, more representative board. It allowed local ideas, funding and resources to go further without losing the history and identity that make each site special.
Today, Valour continues to serve the St. Matthews, Sargent Park and Minto neighbourhoods. Each centre plays a different role, but all three share one commitment: creating safe, inclusive places where people can move, learn, celebrate and connect.
What guides us
Community belongs to everyone.
Our work is grounded in inclusion, accessibility and the belief that strong neighbourhood spaces help people feel connected.
Our vision
A community hub with something fun for everyone.
Our mission
To serve the whole community through inclusive programming and accessible facilities in a safe environment.
Our approach
We listen, welcome new ideas and work with residents, volunteers and local partners to respond to community needs.
Our priorities
Spaces and programs that strengthen the West End.
Valour’s priorities reflect the practical work of keeping three community centres active, welcoming and sustainable.
Welcoming spaces
Make thoughtful use of our buildings, grounds and recreation spaces so they remain active and useful.
Inclusive programs
Offer opportunities for different ages, abilities, interests and income levels.
Community connection
Reach people clearly and create more ways for neighbours to participate and feel heard.
Volunteer leadership
Support the people who share their time, skills and ideas to make community programming possible.
Our three sites

Shared purpose.

Community led
Accountable to our neighbourhoods.
Valour is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and supported by staff, program leaders and community volunteers. Board meetings are open to the public, and community members are encouraged to get involved.
