Canada Post workers and Car 22 join forces to help a stranded familyNorth Vancouver2023-08-16 14:26 PDTFile # 23-16489Canada Post employees and Car 22, the Integrated Outreach Team which pairs a police officer and a mental health clinician on the North Shore, recently assisted a stranded single mother of three kids. On August 3rd, 2023 Canada Post employees contacted police reporting a single mother of three had been stranded in the parking lot of the Canada Post Capilano Delivery Centre and needed assistance. While the officers were in the process of seeking assistance for the mother, the Canada Post employees conducted an impromptu 50/50 draw to raise money for the family. Car 22 and Victim Services worked diligently and secured short-term housing for the family so they would not have to sleep in their vehicle. In the days following, RCMP Victim Services followed up with the family and connected them with social services.
