Sanctum 36 Hour Challenge

The Sanctum 36 Hour Challenge is a unique event to raise awareness and understanding of the issues faced by people who are homeless and living with chronic disease in Saskatoon. 10 community leaders spend 36 hours experiencing well though-out challenges created by people with lived experience and front-line workers in an attempt to highlight the issues faced daily by this population.⁠

Our Why

Sanctum 36 Hour Challenge formerly known as sanctum survivor Challenge.

Educate community leaders

In order to implement change you must first see the change that is needed. We ask community leaders who have the ability to create positive changes for homeless individuals in our community to participate.

Spread awareness

Everyone’s reason for becoming homeless may be different but the challenges and loneliness of homelessness is the same.We want to bring empathy and understanding into the conversation of homelessness.

Encourage change

We want to motivate community leaders, community donors, sponsors and everyone watching the event to be inspired to make a difference. Whether it’s a movement or a kind gesture we all have the ability to implement change for the better.

Fundraising to help homelessness

Sanctum Care Group is a Not-For-Profit Registered Charity that works directly with populations affected by HIV/AIDS, chronic disease, substance dependence, homelessness, mental health issues, and poverty in Saskatchewan.
