Aspen Winds Inc.
Aspen Winds Inc. started in 1987 as "La Résidence de Lourdes" in Notre Dame de Lourdes, MB as part of the "Welcome Home" initative. This was an effort to deinstitutionalize people living with disbilities and reintegrate them into the community. La Résidence provided a safe and communal living space for some of these individuals while partnering with "Mountain Industries", which provided a place for them to flourish their social and vocational skills and make products such as tables and chairs, decorations, custom signs, and more. in 2016, the boards of both organizations decided their goals were very similar and that it would be beneficial to their clients to amalgamate - forming Aspen Winds Inc. In present day, they provide day services to 22 people and have 5 permanent residents.
