Since its inception in 2005, The Streets to Homes Programme in Toronto has focused on ending homelessness by supplying permanent housing to over 1,750 individuals.
Through the integration of agencies, service providers and housing services, the programme has shifted the paradigm to the simple question - "Can I help you get housing?"
Come and listen as Iain walks us through the reflections on the successes of this Canadian Housing First initiative while helping us address the distinctive challenges we face here in Brandon.
This event has been made possible by the support of Government of Canada Homelessness Partnering Strategy

Beginning in February 2005,
Streets to Homes has used community integration and independence to house over 1750 individuals to date, and have marked a 90% success rate in keeping them housed.
Over 30 separate non-profit agencies across the City of Toronto are working with a common vision to END homelessness rather than simply managing it.

Presentation by Tony Clarke, Polaris Institute and co-author of Blue Gold (with Maude Marlow, Council of Canadians)
Friday January 30th - 5:30 pm
Winnipeg Millennium Library
Carol Shields Room (on second floor - access from Skywalk)
Winnipeg City Council has started to break down the water and waste water treatment system in Winnipeg. This will open up the utility to private profit, rather than keeping it a public resource. Come to find out what is happening and what we as citizens can do about this dangerous change in how we use our water.
A light lunch and refreshments will be provided. Tony has followed the issue of public water in Canada and has written extensively about the risks of privatization. Other speakers will deal with the local situation and what Winnipeg City Council did in November to raise concerns among community groups.
Sponsored by: Canadian Organization for Development and Peace, Canadian Labour Congress, Canadian Federation of Students, Manitoba EcoNetwork, Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Winnipeg Citizens' Coalition, Council of Canadians, Winnipeg Labour Council and the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 500.

HEALTHY LIVING IN THE INNER CITY SPEAKERS SERIES
Youth Engagement: Barriers & Promises
The next event of the Healthy Living in the Inner City Speakers Series will occur Thursday, January 29th, from 6 - 8PM at the Carol Shields Auditorium, 2nd floor of the Millennium Library, 251 Donald.
"Youth Engagement: Barriers & Promises" will feature community worker and inner-city youth presentations, youth-produced videos, as well as an interactive discussion period. Admission is free, with refreshments and childcare provided.
In order to create more inclusive communities, negative stereotypes that paint youth with the same brush must be overcome. Discussions will focus on the barriers facing youth in society, such as future life opportunities, the obtainment of adequate employment, and overall youth health conditions. Attendees will be challenged to see past age-related prejudices in order to ask themselves, "How can we include youth in the journey to building a better future for all?"
Rob Marriott, a guest speaker at this event, is the Program Manager at Ndinawe Endaawaad Inc., an organization offering culturally-appropriate services to urban Aboriginal youth. Also, youth presenters will share their personal journeys through oppressive societal structures, as well as the hopes they hold for positive future changes. Audience members will be asked to participate in a brainstorming session along with presenters to seek solutions to current issues.
"Youth Engagement: Barriers & Promises" is sponsored by the Public Health Agency of Canada and the University of Winnipeg Urban and Inner City Studies Department, with additional support from the Marsha Hanen Grant and the Millennium Library.
