West Broadway Development Corporation (WBDC) is a charitable not-for-profit organization that coordinates neighbourhood renewal in our inner-city community. WBDC works with residents and stakeholders toward environmentally sustainable, social and economic revitalization of the West Broadway neighbourhood.

 

The Soup Bee is a start-up social enterprise creating delicious, fresh, local soup. This is done while providing job training and supportive employment opportunities. The business is concerned with food security and takes pride in supplying wholesome soups filled with natural ingredients sourced locally. The cooks of the Soup Bee are low-income inner-city residents that benefit from supplementary earnings. A weekly batch of soup is cooked in a community commercial kitchen and delivered to customers in central Winnipeg who pre-order.

 

The Soup Bee Marketing Manager administers the Soup Bee Social Enterprise: the businesses re-launch and ongoing management; hiring three employees; marketing and communications. The Marketing Manager is supervised by the Executive Director and receives business guidance from an Advisory Committee.
