LPG Lab – Aging, Dementia & End of Life
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.

Community of Practice – Financial Wellbeing
Join our ever-growing Community of Practice! Financial health is about more than just money—it’s about having enough, having control, being protected, and having a plan for the future.
In this session, participants will explore practical ways to support people with intellectual disabilities to strengthen their financial well-being, from accessing benefits and employment income to reducing barriers, preventing financial abuse, and building long-term security through tools like RDSPs.
Participants will gain ready-to-use resources, hear strategies that are working in other organizations, and leave with actionable steps to help the people they serve move closer to real financial stability and independence.

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.
