This month marks 3 years that A Port in the Storm has been operational.

The organization provides rural Manitoban’s who need medical treatment in Winnipeg, with an affordable place to stay. Executive Director Stacey Grocholski says many are from the North:

"As of August 2015, we have served over 470 clients or guests, we call them, and of those people, 40% are coming from the North. So not just Thompson, but Thompson, Flin Flon, the Churchill area, that we consider the northern region, so 40% of those people or those individuals are coming from the North, which is huge". 

Grocholski says majority of the patients they see, are receiving treatment for cancer.
