Our History

Southwest Community Options Inc.

In February 1999, the Manitoba government announced the closure of Pelican Lake Centre, an institution located on the north easterly shores of beautiful Pelican Lake and a major employer in the Ninette and surrounding areas.
Following the closure announcement, a need for services for people living with intellectual disabilities and families wishing to remain in the Ninette area was identified and Southwest Community Options (SWCO) Inc. was created to meet that need.

The Strategic Plan Process

Over the first six months of 2022 the board of Southwest Community Options facilitated a strategic planning effort to set long term goals and direction for the organization. The process began with a broad consultation with the community. This included holding discussions with residents, funders, and other stakeholders, as well as the circulation of a survey throughout the communities where SWCO operates. The feedback received through this consultation was considered by the board while developing the strategic plan and it helped ensure the community’s voice is reflected in the final plan.

This effort resulted in a new vision, mission, value statements, and four long-term goals to guide the organization into 2025.

Vision

A vision is an aspirational or even audacious goal that drives all the work of SWCO.

Mission

A mission is how the organization works to achieve the vision

Values

Values are the bedrock principles that guide all aspects of SWCO work.
