Bear Clan Patrol Background:

Inspired by the original Bear Clan Patrol of the 1990’s, this Bear Clan Patrol is motivated by the ongoing need to assume our traditional responsibility to provide security to our Aboriginal communities. Winnipeg is home to one of the five largest urban Indigenous populations in the world. It is a rapidly growing population of anywhere between 60,000 to 80,000, with the majority of the people concentrated within certain inner city neighbourhoods on Treaty 1 Territory. An urban Indigenous based street patrol offers a natural solution to many of the issues related to security, sense of belonging and identity faced by our people. The Bear Clan Patrol represents a natural extension of the traditional Clan system in an urban context. The Patrol is a community based solution to crime prevention, providing a sense of safety, solidarity and belonging to both its members and to the communities they serve. This is achieved in a non-violent, non-threatening and supportive manner primarily through relationship building and reconciliation. West Broadway’s Bear Clan Patrol is stated to launch in Spring 2018, please consider filling this short form to sign up as a volunteer: https://goo.gl/forms/sibcDTq5ZAzwkxH32
