With the return of cold weather, a simple call can save a life. If you see a person struggling in the cold, please call 211 so they can get the support they need to be safe.

So grateful for all the new coats from Mayor @ScottGillingham so Wpg kids can be warm, make it to school safely, and play outdoors with their friends! 👏👏👏❤️

Dropping off new coats for kids @UnitedWayWpg on a cold day. Thank you Pres & CEO Connie Walker @walkerconn and team for the important work you do across Winnipeg. Also great to meet Melrose from the Central Park Women’s Resource Centre. #wpgpoli

@jimcarr_wpg was a long standing @UnitedWayWpg volunteer, leading many efforts to make a difference for people in our city. Jim was always an inspiration, a statesman, a mentor, and a friend. My sincere condolences to his family and large network of friends and colleagues. ♥️

GREAT concert last night - and the lyric that stood out for me -"No more lives torn apart, That wars would never start, And time would heal all hearts, And everyone would have a friend, ..." THANK YOU

@wpgfdn Incredible! 👏👏👏👏👏

[Connie Walker @walkerconn]

@carolyntrono @blumczynska Yes! On week two! Arghhh! It’s a doozy.

[Connie Walker @walkerconn]

Great news @MBGov and @WinnipegDCSP! And we can all play a role. If you see someone unsheltered and in need of non-emergency support, call 211 - a trained, compassionate outreach team will respond! We are all Winnipeg. ❤️

[Kate Fenske @FenskePeg]

Sometimes taking a chance to do things differently IS the solution. Huge thanks to @MBGov and those who made this possible. @WinnipegDCSP provides a visible presence downtown 24/7 and help our community's most vulnerable. Right resources at the right time make the difference.

[Connie Walker @walkerconn]

A critical investment. The need is unlike anything I have seen and frontline agencies are doing all they can. Thank you @HStefansonMB @MLASquires @MBGov! 👏👏👏

[Heather Stefanson @HStefansonMB]

Our government is committed to helping make our communities safe.

That path starts with a warm, safe roof over your head. Today we’re taking action for Manitobans seeking shelter and affordable housing. #mbpoli

[Connie Walker @walkerconn]

So many of us take our network of social support for granted. As a community, we need to be there for those who have no one. We are all Wpg. ❤️

[unitedwaywpg @UnitedWayWpg]

Loneliness isn’t just an uncomfortable feeling—it’s a health issue.

Everyone deserves to belong & the care of community. If you could use support, but don’t know where to start, #211Manitoba is here to help.

@Mayor_Bowman “There is no greater challenge and no greater honour than to be in public service.” Condoleezza Rice. Thank you for your leadership Mayor Bowman! It’s a tough job, you made a big difference, and we’re grateful! 👏👏👏

[Connie Walker @walkerconn]

What a gift to work with so many amazing people across our city! Humanity every day! Thank you!
There will be lots of time to say good-bye. For now, let's do all we can in the 2022 UW Campaign. Every dollar makes a difference for someone in our city.
We are all Winnipeg! ❤️
