Join Toronto Indigenous Harm Reduction's Winter night outreach 5 year anniversary celebration and fundraiser. Help us launch 2027 outreach!Toronto Indigenous Harm Reduction Indigenous led winter night outreach began in the winter of 2021, when we recognized a need in on our homelands and sought to meet that need. Join us for our Winter Night Outreach restrospective, a 5 year anniversary and fundraiser which will give us a much needed chance to reflect on our work with community and gather resources to launch this years initiative.
Saturday, December 12 from 5-8pm
The Jamii Hub 264 the esplanade
Join us to celebrate with live music performances, TIHR presentations, food by Tetas Table and a silent auction!
TIHR's Indigenous led winter night outreach provides survival supplies to individuals who have been displaced throughout the city on some of the coldest nights of the year. Our goal through this night outreach is to travel throughout downtown Toronto to find the people who have fallen through the cracks and are in desperate need of survival supplies and support. In the winter in Toronto on any given night there are dozens of people who are turned away from full shelters and warming centres due to lack of capacity and find themselves in enclaves, street corners, grates and alleyways.
Through fundraising efforts we gather and distribute survival supplies include tents, sleeping bags, gift cards, winter coats, tarps, warm boots, sweaters, long johns, gloves and hats, all rated for sub zero temperatures, as well as hot food, meal replacements, electrolytes, cannabis, cigarettes. Another major component of our night outreach includes education where we provide advanced overdose training to peer and healthcare workers who join us for outreach.
Indigenous Led Winter Night outreach helps relieve suffering in the moment as we continue to advocate for increased low barrier shelter and housing for the people we serve. TIHR's political advocacy and policy work addresses the systemic material conditions of those we serve and impacts of continued government repression, houslessness crisis, attacks on harm reduction and under support of essential services.
