Thank you Kim Kakakaway and Tanya Weigum McCagherty for representing Upstream Canada and the launch of its youth homelessness prevention model here in Regina. Namerind’s very own Nora Crowe is excited to connect with all of you in our community to work together towards positive change and new opportunities for our youth.
Upstream Canada is a program that prevents youth homelessness through early intervention. Its Australian predecessor reduced youth homelessness by 40% within the first 5 years of its implementation. The program has been successful across Canada, with communities in Alberta, Vancouver and Newfoundland reporting significant outcomes.
This week, Namerind and A Way Home Canada represented Upstream with information sessions on how to get started and access to all necessary resources. Thank you to all of our stakeholders that attended: our subprojects, April ChiefCalf, Nicole Sarauer, K.C., The Regina intersectional Partnership, Mother Theresa Middle School, the Ministry of Corrections and the Ministry of Community Safety.
For anyone who was not able to attend, please contact us for further information.
