The Social Planning Council of Winnipeg (SPC) was founded in the social upheaval preceding the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919. A group of citizens came together to identify and address the problems of a society undergoing rapid change. They formed the Community Welfare Council, precursor of the SPC and one of the first social action groups in Canada created to come to grips with unprecedented change in a major city. Today, Winnipeg and SPC face new tensions and needs. Frozen social assistance rates, child and family poverty, inner-city education, housing and homelessness, mental health and disability issues, and crime prevention and social development are only some of the challenges that the SPC is addressing in the second decade of the 21st century.
