The Winnipeg Aboriginal Sport Achievement Centre (WASAC) is a non-profit that embraces the pride of Winnipeg's Indigenous youth and families and helps to remove barriers for thousands of children and youth annually through sport, culture, and recreation.
The current Winnipeg Jets WASAC initiatives are the result of a long-standing relationship between True North Sports + Entertainment and WASAC dating back to the days of the original Manitoba Moose franchise. The program is part of the NHL's "Hockey is For Everyone" initiative, which promotes diversity and inclusion in hockey, while emphasizing the need to provide a safe and inclusive environment for everyone in the community to both play and enjoy the game.
A hallmark of the Jets and Moose WASAC/Follow Your Dreams weekend continues to be welcoming youth from northern and remote Indigenous communities to take in the games and special experiences throughout the weekend, including skating with alumni at Camp Manitou.
