This year, 365 Technologies, on behalf of its clients, is making a holiday donation supporting Winnipeg’s Bear Clan Patrol.
“With consciousness comes awareness, with awareness comes ownership of personal circumstances, and with collaboration comes change. It is within the context of this approach that the Bear Clan Patrol has been mobilized.” – Bear Clan Patrol website
The patrol’s mission is to provide restoration and maintenance of harmony within the community by promoting and providing safety, conflict resolution, mobile witnessing and crime prevention, early response to situations, rides, escorts and referrals, and maintaining a visible presence on the streets.
At the beginning of December, Michael Anderson, our President and CEO, volunteered for a Bear Clan Patrol.
“This is a very important organization to Winnipeg and the communities that it serves,” says Anderson. “They provide safety and a sense of belonging, which is a huge concept and human need that helps people see value in life, and cope with difficult situations and emotions in a positive and healthy manner.”
In January, the group will be expanding to a new location at 563 Selkirk Avenue, just down the block from its home at 584 Selkirk Avenue. Read all about it here.
About the Bear Clan Patrol
The Bear Clan Patrol was formed in Winnipeg’s North End in 1992 (there were several years in which the volunteer safety group was on hiatus; they returned in 2015).
“The concept behind the patrol is community people working with the community to provide personal security in the inner city in a non-threatening, non-violent and supportive way.” – Bear Clan Patrol website.
