‘Helping neighbours'
North End One non-profit is aiming to help mitigate furniture poverty through community connection, understanding, and a lot of elbow sweat. The North End-based Oyate Tipi Cumini Yape — which is Oji-Cree for 'where the community meets sharing and recycling' — furniture bank was founded in 2004, but has made remarkable growth since 2022. In recent years, the non-profit has more than doubled its staff, developed several volunteering and internship programs with post-secondary schools such as MITT and the University of Manitoba, and has grown to what's now 49 local referral partners, which connect them to those in need of furniture. 'It's a closed-door issue,' said Greg Georgeson, executive director, of furniture poverty. 'People don't really know it's happening … how many families are struggling.' Imagine a teenager, for example, Georgeson said, housed but without a bed, furniture, utensils to cook or clean with, or any of the objects needed to make a house, a home. 'It hits all the bases,' he said — self-esteem, mental and physical health, and motivation to excel in school or work. As well, people in poverty who are housed but don't have furniture at home are far more likely to return to homelessness — 'over 80 per cent,' Georgeson said, due to a lack of community. As someone who's experienced furniture poverty himself, Georgeson can also speak to how common it is, especially in the city's core. People who come through Oyate Tipi are referred by one of the partners, interviewed, and then welcomed into the centre at 429 Dufferin Ave. to browse and 'shop' through the collection of clean, repaired, (environmentally conscious) pest-controlled couches, chairs, beds and bedding, china and dishes, utensils, and more. Although most are donated — from individuals, as well as IKEA — many of the bedframes are also made on-site in a woodworking room by volunteers. Over 185 beds have been made over the last month, according to Georgeson, by 20 to 30 volunteers on any given day. Many of the volunteers involved in programs at the organization are also from the same communities Oyate Tipi aims to serve: Indigenous youth, members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community, youth who have been through the justice system, and those living in downtown neighbourhoods, to name a few. As well, youth volunteerism, as well as internships, at the bank can often pave the way for becoming paid staff in the future. The very personalized, friendly experience, as well as giving autonomy to participants and volunteers, is what Oyate Tipi has a heavy focus on. 'You can't connect to community by providing things, connection is the broken part,' said Lyle Mustard, communications co-ordinator. 'While our primary resource is providing resources, it's community connection that's important.' Mustard is Métis, and stressed the importance of the furniture bank's role in Indigenous communities, as many participants are facing generational trauma and a loss of stability due to the lasting impact of residential schools.

Alongside helping those facing furniture poverty, it provides volunteer and internship opportunities for youth living in the area, as well as temporary storage for those moving away from unsafe living situations.

'This is real life,' he said. 'We have people with lived experiences.' Alongside the furniture bank and volunteering programming, Oyate Tipi provides education through talks and seminars and offers temporary storage for those in the process of moving out of unsafe situations. People interested in volunteering either independently or through their workplace are encouraged to reach out. The organization also accepts monetary donations and furniture donations for the bank. Furniture pick-up comes with a fee, which goes toward staff wages and keeping the organization afloat. For more information, visit or follow @oyatetipi on Instagram and Facebook.

Celebrating the living
Wolseley Earlier this month I experienced a first. I attended a celebration of life for a person who is alive and well. As someone who has been present at numerous funerals and given too many eulogies to count, the act of paying tribute to someone very much with us here on this earth left an indelible mark on me. And it aligned with my long-held belief that appreciating people while they're alive is definitely better than waiting until they're dead. While posthumous tributes can play an important role in bringing closure and comfort to family and others, the idea of bringing more mindfulness to how we spend our time with others here and now is worthy of attention. The gathering was held for a colleague who changed my life in countless ways. A former political prisoner from the Oromo community in Ethiopia, persecuted and tortured for his beliefs, language and culture, he not only overcame but lived his life in the service of others, continuing to inspire, educate and mentor others so they could live a better life. He became a friend when I worked at Manitoba Interfaith and Immigration Council, more commonly known as Welcome Place. Photo by Janine LeGal Community correspondent Janine LeGal recently attended a celebration of life for a person who is alive and well. It was an honour and a privilege to speak about Mohamed Damsho Ali's outstanding contributions and unwavering commitment to his community in Toronto, Winnipeg and Edmonton as well as his contributions outside of those. As a settlement worker and interpreter for newcomers, his commitment was obvious and nothing was more important than ensuring that he was available to help people. It's rare that in this life we meet someone who gives so freely to others as much as he has given. He has changed lives, and helped people of every age from around the world. He's reunited long lost families. And he's helped give countless others a new life in Canada, while remaining a support person as they navigated the complexities of intercultural challenges. My friend Damsho didn't just give his time. He gave families new to Canada hope. And showed them how to make this country a home. This was never just a job for him. It was a calling and he lived it 24/7. The celebration of life event brought together friends, family and colleagues from several provinces and states as well as more than one country. Guest speakers gave presentations in English and in the Oromo language on the screen and in person. There were laughs and there were tears in the beautifully decorated space. And the best part was knowing that the person we were commemorating was right there in the crowd with us listening intently and taking it all in. 'For far too long, our stories of courage and sacrifice have been told only after our heroes are no longer with us,' organizer and host Mustefa Musse Ebro said. 'But today, we shifted that narrative. We gathered not in mourning, but in gratitude — to uplift, honour, and say thank you to a living legend whose sacrifices have paved the way for our pride, our dignity, and our identity as Oromo people and as human beings. Mondays A weekly look at news and events that matter in your communities. Ebro added that when our mutual friend had experienced a recent health scare, the experience prompted him and his co-organizers to move to action and organize what turned into a most memorable, lovely and widely attended event. The Oromo community is an example of rising together to lift each other up, of connection and belonging, which is so desperately needed these days. As Damsho would say, 'There's no such thing as your problem, or my problem. It's our problem.' Imagine a world like that. A place where people never suffered or struggled alone. A place where people valued each other with words and gestures every day. I'm eternally grateful to the Oromo community for showing me that what sometimes seems impossible is actually very much possible. And now, I have one more reason to be indebted to this vibrant community, which has taught me so many important life lessons. A celebration of life to gather not in mourning, but in gratitude, is something we might do well to do more than consider, but to implement on a regular and frequent basis with everyone we know and love.
