Call for Volunteers: Point In Time Homeless Count April 18, 2018
In 2018, Saskatoon will be participating in the Point In Time (PIT) Homelessness Count. A PIT Count is designed to track the level of homelessness in a community. The goal of this count is to gain a clear picture of the trends in homelessness in Saskatoon. Communities from across Canada will be conducting these counts in the months of March and April this year. In conjunction with other counts happening across Canada, the Saskatoon PIT Count will connect with individuals, families and youth who are homeless on the street, in shelters, or staying inappropriate accommodations and those who are at-risk of imminent homelessness.
The date of the Saskatoon PIT Count is WEDNESDAY, APRIL 18. All of the events, surveying and volunteer shifts will occur between 10:00am and 8:00pm.
If you are interested in volunteering at the event please register at the EVENTBRITE site
