Edmonton winters often include -30° C weather. The cold is brutal for everyone, but for those experiecing homelessness, it can be life-threatening. As of July 2024, there were 4,011 people experiencing homelessness in Edmonton, meaning that every winter, thousands of Edmontonians are facing months of life-threaning conditions. 

The Bissell Centre is one of the organizations working to address this crisis, and I am thrilled to be supporting them during the 2025 #CNOY alongside the team from the Robertson-Wesley United Church. 

If you can, please consider donating to further support for Edmonton's Bissell Centre, and help our community members to come in from the cold. 

Thank you.
