"Charlie (name changed) had just arrived in Edmonton from northern Alberta. He stood in front of me with all his belongings (a back pack). His long black braids told me of the pride he carries as an Indigenous man.

"He had worked in the oilfield industry for most of his life but due to changing circumstances, he was homeless, had no income, and lacked ID. Charlie was eager to 'get back on the rigs,' but he needed some help. His dream is to one day to have a 'nice' place of his own.

Today in #YEGDT we held an open house for our #ManagedAlcoholProgram (MAP) and their new space - we even got to sample the wine that clients brew themselves. It got grape reviews!
Big things are happening at the MAP space - they just moved into a bigger area to give participants a more dignified and functional drop in space with plenty of activities and ways to get to know each other.
We also started filming a short video that will highlight the positive outcomes and life changing aspects of MAP. We’ll be featuring participant voices as well as agency partners that have seen really incredible stories arise. Stay tuned for that!
