The Block Parent® Program of Winnipeg, Inc. is a non-profit volunteer program well suited for all communities.

The Block Parent® Program was designed as a simple and cost-free program and remains that way today.  The Block Parent® family decides how active they want to be by displaying their sign only when they are in the home and available.

We need to ensure that Block Parent® homes are indeed “safe homes with safe strangers.”  We do that by performing a Police Check and a Child Abuse Registry Check on everyone in the home 18 years of age and over, every 2 years.  There are no fees for this process.

Children have fewer safe places to go for immediate help in their communities these days.  You can help by becoming a Block Parent® family and making more safe choices available to them.

Please call the Block Parent® office (284-7562) for more information or download our application from our website.  Our email address is bppw@mts.net

The Block Parent® Program of Winnipeg, Inc. is a member in good standing with the Block Parent® Program of Canada, Inc and are supported by the Winnipeg Police Service – Community Relations Unit.
