On Friday, the last Canadian one-cent coin was struck. As the good luck pennies start to disappear from circulation, we will never forget how lucky we felt on the day that Denis proudly presented to NightShift his jar of pennies.

To provide the context, our team walks the designated route, handing out hot chocolate, and we usually stop by the skate park to hang out with the youth there for a bit.

Serving tables are set up, the mobile kitchen is brought out, food is made ready and there’s usually a long line of people waiting patiently in turn to receive the steaming hot dish of the night. Every evening, a dedicated team…

The students from PLBC were a tremendous help in organizing the food and supply area of the warehouse. They also helped tackle the large mountain of clothing we currently have to sort through as we gather a new season’s worth of clothing donations. We welcome youth groups on a drop-in or regular basis. On Thursday mornings we are pleased…
