Katie’s Cottage
Winkler, MB
The Boundary Trails Health Centre is one of the main acute care facilities in southern Manitoba. Guests come from across the province to use the space for various needs and Katie’s Cottage is a home away from home for families needing a place to stay while their loved ones are in hospital. Guests enjoy the space outside to find peace, a break from the hospital, and refresh day or night.
Katie’s Cottage is an aspect of Katie Cares, a charity started by Kaitlyn, a local, young girl who was diagnosed with cancer, and is devoted to help making the lives of people in hospital a little bit easier by raising money to donate things like games, teddies, blankets, movies. The outside project will improve the beauty of the space and make it easier for the community to upkeep.
