Laronde Elementary students learned a lot during a visit to the White Rock Daytime Warming Centre recently: surreyschools.ca/_ci/p/16604…
They also brought donations as well a large ‘Welcome’ painting for the shelter!

Thanks for being a huge community supporter and being there for those people whose confidence was boosted today and every day you are meeting people where they are at. #keepupthegoodwork #bcpoli
Our hygiene days bring a closeness with another human being that many haven't had for so long due to years of neglect and lack of access. New clothes, showering and getting free haircut provides a health check and a huge boost in confidence!

Once the warming centre & shelter close in South Surrey & White Rock in March & April, most who rely on these services will no longer have access to them in SSWR. And yet, the new mayor of White Rock declined to speak about homelessness in the city.

BC Residents: 🆓 RATs and KN95 masks available through @EngagedCommuni2
What a fantastic way to kickstart the new year.
The spread of accessible public health tools to outpace that of the virus is the kind of energy we need in 2023 and beyond
To ensure everyone has the necessary tools to combat multiple #respiratory #viruses along with #COVID-19, we have redeployed our #rapidtest and #mask distribution project to protect everyone including those returning to classes next week.

The extreme weather shelter in White Rock is increasingly seeing unhoused folks who have steady jobs, yet are still unable to afford a shelter or even enough food to eat. peacearchnews.com/news/extre…

Appreciate your team being here with community. I was delighted to chat a bit today. Hope the man I spoke with a block away and gave water to came over later.

We are working to expand Our Integrated Homelessness Action Response Teams across all Fraser Health communities. Our current goal is to ensure individuals in Emergency Response and Isolation Centres have access to timely, person-centred, trauma-informed care.
The @Fraserhealth IHART team is dedicated to ensuring that the health care needs of our shelter guests are met - right where they are. This vital component of our programming means so much to people experiencing signifiant hardships and barriers.
