About Us
History of GCWCC
The General Council of Winnipeg Community Centres (GCWCC) was established in 1971 when the 13 autonomous municipalities and the City of Winnipeg were amalgamated to form Unicity. The Council consists of a volunteer board comprised of an elected Executive Committee, a Representative Board where members are appointed by each of the five District Centre Boards, a representative of the City of Winnipeg, Community Services Department, and the Winnipeg Minor Hockey Association.
Originally the GCWCC was formed to promote and encourage cooperation and communication among the community centres and city administration, and to provide a central council for the exchange of ideas and consider solutions to common problems. Over the past decade the GCWCC has experienced changes in their mandate and the responsibilities of the Council have increased dramatically in such areas as leadership development, developing policy statements on all aspects of the operation of community centres, as well as being responsible to administer both Municipal and Provincial grant funding through the programs you will find on this website.
