Named for Natalia Jastrzembska

Natalia Terrace is named in honour of Natalia Jeastrzembska, the mother of Christina Jastrzembska, one of the original members of Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society. Born in Poland in 1925, Natalia faced immense hardship during World War II, losing her home, her mother, and her brother. After the war, she found herself in Germany, where she met her husband, a concentration camp survivor. In 1952, they immigrated to the United States with their two young daughters. With little money and limited English, they faced many challenges but remained determined to build a better future. Through perseverance and hard work, the family started a small business while striving to maintain a home in New Jersey. At the age of 50, Natalia and her family moved once again, this time to Canada, settling in Winnipeg. Her journey of resilience, hope, and determination reflects the heart of Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society—supporting families in their pursuit of stability and a brighter future.
