Strategic Vision

Following in-depth discussions and reflections, Réseau Compassion Network has drawn up a 2023-2033 strategic plan built around four types of activities:

1. Key Strategic Activities

Over the next 10 years, RCN will expand its mission activities by developing responses that provide meaningful and impactful outcomes for people in Manitoba who are facing barriers related to complex poverty.

  • Engage the capabilities and expertise within our Network
  • Build relationships with other community partners who can help us with our strategy
  • Refine our ability to think through challenges
  • Maximize the use of our funds

2. Network Support Activities

As an owner, we will continue to support our sponsored Network organizations in areas that add value to the work they do in community while respecting the ability to govern and set direction for their respective missions.

  • Nurture culture
  • Building Network community
  • Building strong boards
  • Lean in when required

3. Operational Activities

These operational activities enable the organization to build its brand and continue to be agile and nimble to get things done.

  • Grow our brand communications
  • Cultivate relationships with Catholic governance and partners engagement
  • Support internal systems (Finance, IT & Admin)
  • Support our people

4. Reconciliation Activities

As a Catholic organization responsible for health and human services network organizations in Manitoba, Réseau Compassion Network recognizes the role the Catholic Church has had in harms inflicted on Indigenous Peoples.

We recognize that in our many sponsored Network organizations, past care practices, ways of being and of caring for Indigenous people may have also been inappropriate and caused harm.

We acknowledge that, even today, harm continues in other ways: through racism, systemic barriers, daily injustices and inequity.

We cannot change the past, but we are responsible for our actions moving forward to ensure the harms and injustices that continue to be perpetrated end.

  • We are called in our hearts and through our commitment to social justice to break down these systems, to call for justice, to be the change and a voice of unity and human rights.
  • Build internal knowledge and resources in support of reconciliation
  • Join in relationships with Indigenous people
  • Partner in transformational projects
  • Work with and support the reconciliation journeys of our Network organizations
