A book of Activities forLife Planning Continuity Care was established by a group of dedicated parents, siblings and citizens who want to help families in Manitoba plan a safer and more secure future for their family member with an intellectual disability.''Planning is a must. Start planning now!''Planning gives us a chance to live our own lives while at the same time knowing that our relative has a life of their own. Start now and review regularly. Good intentions based on wrong information can put people at risk. Some siblings tell us that they are uncomfortable with the responsibilities that the parents are expecting them to undertake. Other families learn that the wills and estate planning they have done in good faith may result in loss of government income supports, medical / dental benefits and access to the many government programs their family member may require.

During early 1960s very few Hindu families had settled in Manitoba, who were living mostly in Winnipeg. The early settlers were mostly Professionals, as Teachers, Professors, Physicians and others. A few more families trickled here during early 1970s. There was no common place of worship or congregation.In 1970, a few families floated the idea of incorporating The Manitoba Hindu Society as a religious and charitable organization and Society was registered on December 9th. 1970. The Society started holding an annual Diwali Celebration at St. Mary's Road United Church. The activities of the society became extended to observing major Hindu Festivals. In addition to the Diwali, Maha shivratri, Ram Navami and Krishna Janmashtmi got celebrated at one Hall or another, and Sunday prayer meetings were added. These Sunday meetings became popular and used to be held at random at the homes of the devotees and then regularly at the International Centre.
