OUTSaskatoon is supporting the Sanctum Survivor 36-Hour Winter Challenge!!

OUTSaskatoon's services work to improve the health and well-being of 2SLGBTQ people of all ages and backgrounds.

On November 3rd & 4th, 2022, community leaders will attempt to survive as if homeless for 36 hours on the streets of Saskatoon as part of the Sanctum Survivor 36-Hour Winter Challenge. Participants will wear donated clothes and shoes. They will not be allowed any personal belongings other than a phone (to update the public on their journey). Survivor participants will be given tasks to complete.

The event attempts to shed light on the intense hardship faced by people who experience poverty, homelessness and chronic illness here in Saskatoon.

On November 3rd & 4th, 2022, community leaders will attempt to survive as if homeless for 36 hours on the streets of Saskatoon as part of the Sanctum Survivor 36-Hour Winter Challenge. In teams of two, Survivor participants will be given tasks to complete. Each task will aim to demonstrate certain challenges that society is often unaware of, but which are an everyday reality for those who are homeless with HIV. Participants will wear donated clothes and shoes. They will not be allowed any personal belongings other than a phone (to update the public on their journey). The event itself is both powerful and unprecedented. It attempts to shed light on the intense hardship faced by people who experience poverty, homelessness and chronic illness here in Saskatoon.

Sanctum Care Group acknowledges that the 36-hour homelessness experience by no means accurately depicts the numerous barriers and complex issues faced by persons who survive daily in poverty and homelessness; however, Sanctum Care Group believes that drawing awareness to some of the many challenges will be a catalyst for real and lasting change.

Sanctum Survivor is an event to raise funds and awareness for Sanctum, Saskatchewan’s first HIV Hospice and Transitional Care Home and Sanctum 1.5, which will be Canada's first HIV and high risk Prenatal Home. Individuals who access services at Sanctum are most often homeless, and have fallen through the cracks of the traditional health care system.

Sep 30

Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.

Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations. On September 30, we encourage all Canadians to wear orange to honour the thousands of Survivors of residential schools.

REPOST @careandshareyxe

“The schools are out and enjoying our bike program! The kids are staying active and exploring the city 🚴 Thanks to Davis Machine for making this program happen. Also, a big thank you to @sportchek for repairing and tuning the bikes.”

Care & Share works with the inner-city/community schools providing opportunities, programs and items of necessity for kids.

Financial donations help cover the costs of the many programs Care & Share offers to the students in over 20 inner-city and community schools in Saskatoon. These programs were requested by the schools. One such program is the Dignity Fund which purchases itemssuch as winter coats and boots, clothing, personal hygiene items and lice shampoo. Any donation, big or small, makes a big difference to a child and helps them create smiles.

Go to https://onesmallstep.com/organization/care-share/ and check out the Care & Share list of urgent needs, which includes things like clothing, personal items, office supplies and more.
