Street Team/Wagon Gang

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BIG STREET TEAM HAS BEEN CANCELLED FOR THIS WEEK. THIS WILL BE A HARM REDUCTION TEAM ONLY. 

Today is "Overdose Awareness Day".  A good portion of our volunteers will be attending this event to raise awareness and remember loved ones that are no longer with us. 

Todd will be your Team Leader for the evening. We will be handing out harm reduction supplies in our usual area of service. 

------------------------

Please  meet in the staff parking lot behind Bissell Centre Adminstration building (east side of the street)

Street  team will be handing out food/snacks/water etc. starting downtown at  6pm  Demand will determine Route.  If we have leftovers, there are a few  other places we can go and visit.

**All Street Team volunteers must be able to comfortably walk 3 km.

1. Please dress for the weather
2. Please wear sturdy shoes (no open toes!) - we walk a few kilometres each night.
3. Although masks are no longer mandatory, we are hoping that you will still continue to protect our vulnerable community and wear a mask while you are on duty.
4. Children 16 and over are welcome, but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.  Anyone under 16 is welcome to ride along in a support vehicle.
5. Partner up with another team member and watch out for each other.
6. Remember that you will be walking through a "harm reduction"  environment.  This means that people could be openly using/injecting  drugs.

9. Please remember to smile, have fun and stay safe! <3
