Siloam Mission

A group of rural students from Ile des Chênes and St. Pierre Jolys spent their Halloween a little different than most.

Instead of amassing candy, graduating students from the École/College Regional Gabrielle-Roy and École Communautaire Réal-Bérard experienced first-hand the hardships of homelessness by spending the entire night outside to practice solidarity with Winnipeg’s less fortunate.

Spearheaded by graduating students of École/College Regional Gabrielle-Roy last year, the event was so successful that both schools decided to partner up to make the sleepout an annual event.

After a light breakfast this morning, the students boarded a school bus to Siloam Mission to drop off a big donation of clothing and other urgently needed items that they have collected over the last few weeks.

From all of us at Siloam Mission, thank you so much!
