Inspired by Brandon Stanton’s series Humans of New York, People in Winnipeg is all about the everyday person. It is about highlighting the city’s diversity - through photographs, and words - because everyone has a story.

The Global Issues students as well as the photography students at Tec-Voc set out to meet these everyday people. To photograph them. To listen to them, and ultimately, to share their stories and quotes through the book.

Any proceeds from People in Winnipeg will be shared amongst four local charities selected by the Global Issues students. The project was introduced to the students as part of the Take Action community-based project of the Manitoba Global Issues curriculum.
