Lighthouse Mission
I recently had the opportunity to help Lighthouse Mission with their rebrand. The Lighthouse has a rich history and holds the unique distinction of being the first mission of it’s kind in Winnipeg. Opening it’s doors as a soup kitchen during the Ist World War, the Lighthouse, new director Sean Goulet’s vision was to recapture that all but forgotten past. The project needed to somehow rekindle that same spark that brought people off the street and out of the cold, to share a hot meal and swap stories.
Located in an old warehouse and storefront on Main Street in Winnipeg’s core area, Lighthouse Mission continues to reach out to those in need. Speaking of the hardships, poverty and hopelessness facing the people he meets daily, Sean didn’t hide his passion, tearing up in conversation. To him, every face has a name. Every face has a story. To him everyone matters.
It was a pleasure working with Sean. His passion and energy for those less fortunate are unmatched.
