RAPM's Affirming Ministry Celebration was a blast!!!
Thank you to all the artists and presenters who provided sensational entertainment and insightful education for all the attendees!
Thank you to the volunteers and organizers who made such a beautiful and fun day possible!
This celebration was not just about coming together and having a fabulous tea party. Affirming Ministries seek to go beyond issues of gender diversity and sexual orientation to work for justice and inclusion for all people. Affirming Ministries provide information, acceptance, support, and justice-making for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and their friends and families. By becoming an Affirming Ministry, Regina Anti-Poverty Ministry is taking another step towards justice and acceptance for all, and we think that's definitely something worth celebrating!!

Way to Go!
It's been nearly a week since the City of Regina forced unhoused folks living in Pepsi Park (Core Park, People's Park, Turtle Park) to leave the area they had called home for months.
Encampments aren't the answer, but neither is forcibly removing people from their community and belongings, offering them the same limited resources that have led to them being impoverished in the first place, and then arresting and charging the people that refused to let this violent cycle continue.
We echo John Clarke's sentiment on the brutal takedown:
"Removing people with nowhere to go from a homeless encampment for 'safety' reasons is like 'rescuing' survivors from a leaky lifeboat by throwing them in the water."
With no publicized plan, no emergency housing options made available, and no communication with the people who were most affected by this appalling ordeal, within the span of one day the provincial and municipal governments somehow made the lives of our city's most vulnerable residents even harder than they already were.

They were offered serviced. Some took them others didn’t. Teams were sent out with resources and many people said no to them. People from the area were also not safe and neither were their children. Where do you put them? How about spread them out and put them in small towns? Part of the problem is rent doesn’t go to landlords anymore and people damage homes that become u recognizable. I’m not saying just these folks but look at the mess they leave. Put them in crown land, reserve land if appropriate, treatment centre, pioneer village, or other similar facilities and spread them out so they can maybe get help in other tiens and cities that can absorb a couple. Too bad if they don’t want to go but they can’t stay where they are.
I was Lisbon recently and got lost in an area where I ended up having to walk through a tent city. No one bothered me and it was so clean. Residents were actually jogging and bicycling through it. It made me ask myself how can this be so different? There has to be a better way for people of these encampments and the people who reside around them. I wish I had the answer.
People have Choices.

You are invited to our Affirming Ministry Celebration Oct 25, 2026. RAPM has gone through two years of learning and reflection about how we can best advocate for and with 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and communities.
This process is laid out by Affirm United/AUSE . Affirm/AUSE is in partnership with the United Church of Canada for the support of people of all gender orientations and sexual identities.
We publicly declare our commitment to inclusion and justice for all!
We are looking for volunteers to help us with the event. Email the RAPM office for more information at rapm@sasktel.net
