WINNIPEG — Hundreds of local executives called Portage Avenue and Main Street home overnight to raise funds and awareness for Change for the Better.
The third annual CEO Sleepout started at 7 p.m. Every year the event has grown; in 2012, there were around 50 participants, this year more than 100.
Participants had the opportunity to tour local shelters and engage in conversation about how to help Winnipeg’s homeless.
