Here are two days worth of updates from our Local Impact. The first day, Tuesday, we went to a small church located in Winnipeg called the  Exchange Community Church. It is a church, as the name suggests, in the Exchange District.  According to their website, the ultimate vision for the Exchange District community specifically was to “enter into the emerging culture, and to see an 'indigenous' church rise up within it.”

We had the opportunity to learn about the work they do and to meet a few people that benefit from their presence in the Exchange District. On top of that we were able to clean up some accumulated products giving them more storage room, clean their windows in the room they use as a meeting place/sanctuary and apply a coat of varnish to the floor. One highlight for the students was to climb onto the roof giving a unique of the city - at least that is what they were saying - I did not go onto the roof as I am not a good friend of heights.
