Who We Are
In 1979, the Italian Women's Association of Winnipeg was established to build a Seniors Residence which would fulfill a community need.
Six years later, this vision became a reality in the form of the "Villa Cabrini" because many individuals were willing to give of themselves to help others. Villa Cabrini officially opened on September 15, 1985.
Villa Cabrini Inc, the sponsor of the residence, is a non-profit organization with a Board comprised of 13 volunteer community members. The board's function is to operate the Villa as a community service in perpetuity. The directors of the board serve without remuneration.
The Villa's day-to-day activities are performed by our Property Managers, a Director of Programs & Services, a Congregate Meal Program Coordinator and a Project Caretaker.
The Villa and it's activities are supported by countless community and resident volunteers.
