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.
