A community space that connects newcomers and local Filipinos with people, businesses, mentors, volunteer opportunities, paid work, and projects based on their interests and skills.

Someone could say, “I want to learn photography,” “I can help with computer repair,” “I need experience in bookkeeping,” or “My business needs help with social media,” and the hub could help connect them.

People could offer their skills for free, for experience, as volunteer work, or as a paid service. Businesses could also offer mentorship, workshops, short-term projects, job opportunities, or training.

The goal would be to help Filipinos find work, learn new skills, contribute what they know, build experience, start businesses, and connect with people in the community.

I would like to see The Mabuhay District as a contemporary village with affordable housing and employment for newcomers, be it Filipinos or from other countries, making it their first-ever temporary home for JUST one year, prior to moving to another housing of their choice upon settling to Canada with employment; a job-placement office that also has a generous, extensive library and museum with curated Filipiniana books published from home and abroad; some rentable temp offices for individuals or groups; and a mini-cultural center catering to small to medium-sized events with an intimate setting, with a couple of small restaurants, shops, and cafes to boot... all managed and employed by newcomers opting-in on their one-year Mabuhay District affordable-housing plan.

I picture a walkable, closed off “street” or wide sidewalk with amenities on either side. Like you have options if you wanna get pandesal it’s on your left, get a haircut it’s on your right… skate at the skatepark it’s at the end of the block. Also lots of public art! maybe a museum to recognize Filipinos in Winnipeg/Canada. Colorful streets and buildings that differentiate it from surrounding buildings. This Mabuhay district can’t just become a glorified strip mall. Needs to have enough amenities to identify it as a cultural destination.
