WCB community relations

The WCB partners with a variety of organizations each year to make a positive contribution to the province.

The WCB supports many organizations and initiatives, including SAFE Roads Manitoba and the United Way of Winnipeg. It also sponsors many other groups, such as the Manitoba Indigenous Youth Achievement Awards, and is a long-term supporter of the Indigenous Business Education Partners program at the University of Manitoba.

WCB sponsorships

As part of the WCB’s mandate to work with our partners to build a safer Manitoba that fosters prevention and return to work, we are pleased to sponsor community events that help bring this vision to life.

The WCB sponsorship program is designed to support events and campaigns that help us promote workplace health and safety, return to work and support diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
