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.
