Leaving Portage and Main closed is a safety issue, especially for women @ night in #Winnipeg. Safest crossings are though private bldgs that close at 6. Public staircases have no sightlines to the street. I'd rather take my chances running across traffic at night. #PortageandMain

The amazing Mukanzo Orphanage organization is hosting its 6th annual wherlathin to support the orphanage I Congo. This year the goal is to improve the bathrooms. Come on out to Lyn Dale Way!

Self promotion but message is simple; let's end homelessness in Canada. I share some of my thoughts from the last 20 years. x.com/EvidenceNetwor…
