CPFP is committed to ensuring the safety and health of all our volunteers and community members, especially those who are the most vulnerable. We are aware that essential services are operating at the moment without disruption, and we are confident in a comprehensive community response that leaves no one behind.

We recommend taking all necessary precautions and follow all guidelines of hygiene as outlined by public officials, and keep updated with the latest information at this link: https://www.gov.mb.ca/covid19.

We apologize for any inconvenience and we look forward to return on patrol promptly to serve our community.

About CPFP Central Park Foot Patrol Inc.

The Central Park community has been experiencing higher levels of violence that are linked to the meth crisis and other causes rooted in poverty and marginalization. A group of concerned neighbourhood residents started organizing in the fall of 2018, with the hope to start a community foot patrol to increase safety in Central Park.

The group incorporated into the CPFP Central Park Foot Patrol Inc. in March 2019, as a non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors in the community, by providing programs, services, and opportunities for social interaction that contribute to the overall well-being and a sense of community to all.
