Our Vision
At Carmichael Outreach, our vision is to see the end of poverty and homelessness in our community. We envision a strong, inclusive community founded on the values of respect and dignity for all.
We are proud to offer programs that work towards our vision and help serve and foster community spirit in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Our Impact
Harm Reduction and Health Focus
Population and Public Health
Partnering with the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region, Carmichael Outreach hosts two public health nurses for a clinic. On-site testing, and primary care is available. Members of the Street Project also attend and provide community clinics on various personal health and wellness topics throughout the year.
Our new facility has a medical clinic office on site specifically for our public health nurses.

Needle Exchange Program
Carmichael Outreach hosts one of two local Needle Exchange Programs, operated by The Street Project team from the Regina Qu’Appelle Health Region. This service operates on the principles of harm reduction, prevents the spread of disease, and offers individuals battling addiction a friendly face and resource to sobriety. We have a 99.97% retention rate.
We are planning to reintroduce this program at our new facility at a later date.

Healing Circle
Carmichael Outreach will frequently host a Healing Circle for 20+ regular attendees. This program incorporates traditional Aboriginal spirituality and offers a safe space to discuss journeys to healing.
We plan to open our new healing room specifically dedicated to traditional Aboriginal spirituality and healing in our new facility at a later date.
