Winnipeg Inner City Research Alliance (WIRA)
The Winnipeg Inner-City Research Alliance (WIRA) was formed in 1999 by a diverse group of academic and community partners who came together to combine their strengths and resources in promoting the development of sustainable inner-city neighbourhoods. WIRA is committed to fostering innovative research, training and related activities that work toward the social, cultural and economic development of Winnipeg's inner city communities. Although the focus is on Winnipeg's inner city, this type of research is relevant to many other Canadian cities as well.
