Once homeless herself, Guiboche is now running for the Liberals in Manitoba. At the celebration, which included T-shirts, balloons, entertainment and raffle tickets, she did touch on certain things in government she believes need to change.

"Anybody can go homeless," she said.

"I believe that policies are allowing a lot of people to go homeless and the government should be doing a lot moreThere's so many resources and money and housing that's empty, we should step up and totally eradicate homelessness today."

Overall, however, the event was about coming together and uniting as a community.

"[It's] just to remember each other," Guiboche said.

"We're all one race:The human race."
