About Us

Simaril is a Winnipeg-based non-profit organization that has supported people to build full, meaningful lives since 1987.

Our supports are tailored to each person’s goals, preferences, strengths, and level of support needed. We provide residential and community-based programs, including Residential Living, Supported Independent Living, Home Share, Respite, and Cluster services.

Across our programs, we focus on helping people build greater choice, independence, connection, and belonging in everyday life.

Our work is guided by three values: Respecting, Empowering, and Uniting.

Our role is to create the conditions that make that possible. We support people to build lives that reflect who they are, what matters to them, and how they want to live.

All of that purpose guides how we work, how we make decisions, and how we grow.
