CTC is hosting a holiday event on December 16 and is looking for volunteers. Please contact [email protected] if you're available to help!

We're looking for Christmas sponsors and volunteers.

CTC will be hosting a FREE Christmas event at the Hull Block with photos with Santa, Candy Bar with Kalina’ Cotton Candy, and other fun activities. It will take place December 16 at 12:30pm, but volunteers would be needed starting at 10am.

Along with that we will also be giving away a small brown bag of treats for the families and children in the McCauley Area. Our goal is to provide 1000 bags to the seniors and families around Boyle McCauley area, along with the woman’s shelter and other agencies. We are budgeting $5/bag.

This is the sponsorship form which may be emailed back to us. Volunteers can also use the same email at [email protected]

Thank you in advance for everyone’s generosity!

Here's an update from BSCS on the transitional locations for services until okimaw peyesew kamik (King Thunderbird Centre, 107A Avenue and 101 Street) is ready. Please share :)

We're excited to share that - thanks to the support of our unwavering partners - we've finalized our new locations in downtown Edmonton for the programs and services previously operating out of our downtown community centre! This ensures the uninterrupted operation of these vital programs and services on and through October 1st, 2023.

These new locations allow us to transition our existing programs and services. They also create more community space, which will provide additional service support in the core, as well as allow us to expedite service delivery changes (interdisciplinary supports) initially planned to be offered in King Thunderbird Centre (okimaw peyesew kamik).

Our focus is now on communicating accurate information about the new service locations to those who access our services.

Key Locations:

- Triage programs and services: Bissell East (10527 96 St. NW)

These include ID & mail, intake, reception, housing intake, youth services, immediate needs, and more

- Four Directions Financial & Hiregood: portable trailers at okimaw peyesew kamik (King Thunderbird Centre) (10010-107A Ave)

- An additional, smaller Community Space will be located at Co-lab (9641 102A Ave NW)

A massive thank you to our community partners, including thegather.co, Work Nicer Coworking, Qualico, Bissell Centre, ATB Financial, COLAB YEG, and Al Smulski, for helping make this possible!
