The history of the Winnipeg Aboriginal Sport Achievement Centre has always been removing barriers for our children. It continues to remove barriers for its participants in all programs.PROGRAM GOALSWASAC delivers a number of programs thoughout the year. Each of these programs maintains a strong focus with four key areas for both employees and participants: Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity.BelongingIn all WASAC programs, we strive to create an environment where participants and leaders feel welcomed. Every person who is involved in our programs receives a shirt with the program name stamped on the front. This is to show them that they are part of a team.MasteryEveryone feels proud when they look at themselves knowing that they have talent. WASAC programs are designed to provide workshops for both participants and leaders. Youth mentorship plays a big role in our organization and we go above and beyond to remove barriers for people to notice their talents. We give many opportunities for participants to shine in sport, art and crafts, and cultural workshops.

Franck had left behind his native France a few years before to work in London at the renowned two-Michelin starred restaurant, Le Gavroche.
