The Coldest Night of the Year is a winterrific family-friendly fundraising walk in support of local charities. Let’s change the tune for people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness... because it’s cold out there. Join us on February 22, 2025 - team up, fundraise, and walk with us!
St. Boniface Street Links works to end homelessness, reduce poverty and support crime prevention through social development as a “best practice” for successful community development.
Our success is linked to our strong, supportive relationships with all Winnipeg-based end-homelessness and anti-poverty organizations. Through our comprehensive working network with others, we are able to link homeless and other vulnerable citizens to existing programs and services here in St. Boniface and elsewhere in the city of Winnipeg.
No one organization can achieve success on its own but
together we can do this!
SBSL Outcomes: Delivering Meaningful Change
Housing Success: In just 36 months (ending March 2024), 986 individuals have transitioned from encampments to stable housing.
Recovery Milestones: Of those housed, 15% have successfully completed recovery programs and are actively living substance-free.
Sustainable Solutions: On average, SBSL Outreach houses 2 individuals daily, with projections to exceed 600 placements by the end of the fiscal year on March 31, 2025.
Decreased Emergency Response: There has been a notable decline in emergency response calls to both Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS), reflecting decreased crisis situations for those we’ve housed with supports.
By investing in SBSL, you are not just supporting a program; you are contributing to a holistic approach that transforms lives and delivers enduring benefits to our city. We cannot sustain this vital work without your support. Please help us! Unfortunately, our programs do not currently qualify for funding through any existing government agreements. Your contribution is crucial to enabling us to continue our mission. Thank you for your support!
Holy Cross Catholic Church will be hosting us again this year as the Main
Start/Finish Location.
There will be a 2km and a 5km walk, each with a volunteer Route Marshal to lead the way. Part-way along the walk, you are invited to enjoy our Rest Stop which will be stocked with refreshments.
