Burnaby Winter Shelter

Our Burnaby Winter Shelter Program is Currently Closed

Our Winter Shelter closed for the season on April 30, 2025. Over the course of the winter, we were honored to provide emergency shelter to over 205 individuals in need, offering a total of 3,084 safe, warm nights of rest. We’re deeply grateful to our partners, volunteers, and supporters who made this possible. We hope to return next season with this vital program to continue supporting those in our community who need it most during the winter months.
