A Safe Haven for Traumatized Children | Winnipeg News

A child-centered safe haven for trauma survivors, the Toba Centre—formerly Snowflake Place—has transformed how vulnerable kids and families heal after abuse or violence. Since 2013, it’s offered forensic interviews and support, expanding in 2020 to include case navigation and a full medical clinic. Now housed in Assiniboine Park, the center unites police, social workers, and medical teams under one roof, creating a calming, home-like space where children can rest, eat, and feel supported. With over 800 referrals and 1,100 children served last year, it’s become a gold-standard model, proving healing is possible when trauma response is compassionate, coordinated, and child-focused.

Grooming Two Girls Across 500km | Winnipeg News

A 50-year-old man from Red Lake, Ontario, faces a 15-year prison term after admitting to grooming two Indigenous girls online and traveling 500 km to sexually assault one in Winnipeg — a crime that follows his prior conviction and parole for child sex offenses. He targeted vulnerable teens in foster care, using Facebook Messenger to build trust with promises of gifts and attention, then escalated to sending explicit images and arranging rides and deliveries before abducting the 14-year-old at an Airbnb. Despite apologizing, he downplayed his actions in court, while the victims suffered lasting trauma. Sentencing is set for September 14.
