Join our ever-growing Community of Practice!

LPG Lab – Voice, Choice and Decision Making
Abilities Manitoba’s Leading Practice Guidelines set out what high-quality services should look like for Manitobans with intellectual disabilities.
This fall and winter, senior leaders are invited to join a series of interactive two-hour online LPG Labs.
Each session will focus on one guideline area, explore what leading practice looks like, review ready-to-use tools and policies, and create space for leaders to share successes, challenges, and resources.
The goal is to help organizations strengthen their services and support people to live full, inclusive lives in their communities.

Getting Rights, Right! – Direct Support Professionals
Getting Rights Right is a full-day, interactive workshop that explores how direct support staff can turn rights from abstract ideas into everyday practice.
Together, we’ll look at the history and laws that shape disability rights, unpack what real choice and decision-making mean, and reflect on the barriers that still get in the way.
Through discussion and practical strategies, participants will learn how to support people with disabilities to take the driver’s seat in their own lives—balancing rights and responsibilities, navigating “grey areas,” and standing beside people as equal citizens.
Date: November 21, 2025
Time: 9:00am - 5:00pm
The session will be hosted via Zoom.
