The Journey Church warming centre hosts 40-50 people per day at the end of the LRT line at Tuscany-Rocky Ridge .

Pastor Jessica DiSabatino : "It’s part of being human. I don’t think we have a choice as an ethical responsibility, as Christ-followers" The Calgary Homeless Foundation conducted a one-night count of the city's unhoused population in late October .

A homeless man bearing the facial scars of a firearm suicide attempt three years ago said the warming centre “is actually pretty humbling, very nice” Another homeless man eating chili in the church lobby said if unhoused people didn’t have warming hubs to attend, “people would be doing crime” According to Calgary police statistics, crime rates in surrounding neighbourhoods have remained among the lowest in the city.
