SHTV: The Sunshine House Telethon

This year for our fourth Telethon, "SHTV" will bring you all the campy, silly, creative fun you’re used to, with comedy, drag, music, and more!

As in previous years, it's a hybrid event. You can join us in person — come down to. Club 200 at 190 Garry St. to hang out with us, watch performances live, and check out the Silent Auction in person! You can also watch the show from the comfort of your living room chesterfield as it streams live on YouTube.

All proceeds go to the Sunshine House programs that make the House a place where people can grow.

Mark your calendars and plan to join us Thursday, October 10!

Young Cranes Retreat

At the end of June, our youth headed out to the Sandy Salteaux Spiritual Centre for a three-day land-based retreat. The goal was to give young people space to engage with culture, connect with knowledge keepers, share experiences and engage with a cross-cultural set of tools to become leaders. 

This retreat was made possible by the Telus Friendly Future Foundation.
