Bear Clan Patrol

Bear Clan Patrol is a community-based non-profit organization headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, dedicated to providing safety, security, and harm reduction services to Indigenous and vulnerable populations. The organization operates through a network of volunteers who conduct street patrols to deter crime, perform wellness checks, and distribute essential supplies such as food and hygiene products. A significant portion of their work is focused on community health, including the collection of hazardous materials and the distribution of naloxone kits to combat the opioid crisis. By fostering partnerships with local health clinics, the Patrol serves as a frontline resource for individuals experiencing homelessness, addiction, and mental health issues. Their mission is rooted in traditional Indigenous philosophies of community responsibility and non-violent engagement.
