Janice is helping to remove the barriers experienced by our community members and providing a warm cup of coffee to go with it.

When you’re young, it’s all about learning. And Stacey* is learning to sing. As a young Indigenous mother from Ayiki-sâkahikan nation, she made great strides after connecting with our Youth Services program. *names have been changed to protect the privacy of our community member

Indigenous Christmas is a Boyle Street tradition we celebrate with staff and community members. It's where we celebrate all the best the season has to offer and emphasize a connection to culture and people. Check out a few images from the celebration here & on our Facebook album!
The uptake on the intake! Hundreds of clients access Boyle Street Community Services daily, and it’s important to understand individual needs. Enter the intake team. With ongoing app development, they are able to map how our clients use the Community Centre and services. #YEG

It can be overwhelming out there & we aim to make our community’s requirements as accessible as possible across the organization! Part of this work is continuing to create efficient digital systems, connecting our work behind the scenes to those we serve. #BoyleStreetCommunity

Our Winter Warming Locations are set up to connect with people experiencing homelessness or poverty. They’re a friendly location to get out of the cold, grab a coffee, and connect with outreach workers.

This is a play by play thread for how an agreement was reached about the encampment clearing. Very insightful and worth a read:
Follow along with this thread for live updates from the injunction hearing to try and stop the largest encampment eviction in Edmonton history. Negotiations are going on until the last minute. All the legal reps left a few minutes ago and have now returned. #yegcc

Getting “home for the holidays” is not always as Hallmark as it sounds! When young JJ* came into care, he was living with Dad as Mom had returned to Saskatchewan to work on her healing journey.
