About Us

SSCY Centre is the home for services for Manitoba children and youth living with disabilities. The Centre acts as an alliance of government departments, the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) and various service provider agencies. The three supporting provincial departments are Manitoba Family Services, Manitoba Education & Advanced Learning and Manitoba Health. All participants are represented on the Intersectoral Working Group (IWG).

SSCY Centre opened in spring 2016 and is located at 1155 Notre Dame Ave. in Winnipeg. The facility provides over 94,000 square feet of space for approximately 250 staff.

About Your Visit

Families and visitors are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled appointment time. Families are reminded to please bring their child’s Manitoba Health Card to every visit.

Coming in for an Appointment

If your child is feeling unwell (cold or flu symptoms), please consult with your service provider to see if the appointment can/should proceed or if rescheduling is the best option. If you cannot make a scheduled appointment, please help us reduce wait times for all families by letting us know as soon as possible. This will enable us to reschedule your appointment as quickly as possible and offer the original appointment time to another family on the waitlist.

Families and visitors are encouraged to arrive 15 minutes prior to their scheduled appointment time. Families are reminded to please bring their child’s Manitoba Health Card to every visit.

Parking

Parking is available for both families and visitors. Families are invited to park in any of the “Family Parking ONLY” stalls along the green fence.

Visitor parking is on the west side of the parking lot; please remember to pay for parking at the Parking Kiosk located near the security desk in the Square.

Upon Arrival

Upon entering SSCY Centre, you are asked to use hand sanitizer to wash everyone’s hands and you and your child will have the opportunity to put on a mask. This is highly recommended if anyone has cold or flu symptoms. Please note, at this time, service providers may be wearing a mask when interacting and providing care to your child.

You can proceed to the appropriate reception area (Front Reception Desk – on the east side of the Square; Clinic Crossing – past reception and down the hallway to the East; or Innovation Station – up the elevator on the west side of the building). If you are unsure where to go, you can check in at the Front Reception Desk and they will direct you.
