In the meantime there are podcasts to access including the newest Learning from Sharing: A Series of Voices on Diversity podcast episode that features Levi Foy (pronouns: he/him/she/her/they/them), also known - after dark - as drag star Prairie Sky from treaty 3 territory, now residing on Treaty 1 territory (also known as Winnipeg Manitoba), who speaks about their experiences as a Two-Spirit person living in an urban disconnected space while holding Queer and Indigenous community-building and support as central to resilience. There is also a Therapeutic Beading Workshop featuring Crystal Behn-Dettieh, Dene/Carrier artist, online for one, two or three evenings of beading virtually from the comfort of home.

Lighthouse Mission has experienced growing demand for its services. The shelter, which typically helps more than 200 people a day, has had a 43 per cent increase in emergency hamper distribution. The need for donations has risen during the cold weather.
Recent body-numbing temperatures, combined with the COVID-19 pandemic, have forced Winnipeg non-profit organizations to make do with fewer donations at the very time they need more.
