“An AA service office involves partnership among Groups in a community—just as AA Groups themselves are partnerships of individuals. An Intergroup office exists to carry out certain functions common to all Groups—functions which are best handled by a centralized office—and it is usually maintained, supervised, and supported by these groups in their general interest. It exists to aid Groups in their common purpose of carrying the AA message to the alcoholic who still suffers.”

Winnipeg Intergroup Association oversees operation of our Manitoba Central Office located in Winnipeg. The office is staffed by our Office Manager, and provides the following services to the AA Fellowship in Manitoba:
WIA Meetings (IG Representatives and Intergroup Committee members)
Held on the first Monday of every month at 7:00 PM
Location: Via Zoom or in person at Central Office
1856 Portage Avenue
Intergroup Committee Meetings (Intergroup Committee members)
Held monthly on the Thursday prior to the WIA meeting (typically the last Thursday of the month) at 7:00 PM via Zoom.
The Winnipeg Intergroup Association (WIA) was formed in the late 1940s to serve the needs of local AA groups and to support their shared mission. In its early years, WIA organized an annual dinner for early AA members and provided coordination among groups in the Winnipeg area.
We believe the Winnipeg Intergroup Association is the oldest AA service structure in Western Canada. As AA has grown throughout the metropolitan area, the need for services has expanded, and the responsibilities of the WIA have grown accordingly.
Please remember that the Winnipeg Intergroup / Central Office is your office. It is the place where Intergroup Representatives (IG Reps) share information about service opportunities and help members become involved in carrying the AA message. WIA meetings are open for all members to attend as observers.
