community. We have been working collaboratively to support the needs and interests of local

renovated site is planned for early 2027. 
 
We will approach new shelter operations at the new site in the same way we approach all of our

connections, building a peaceful, safe and healing environment focused on resident needs 
and interests, exploring and implementing innovative strategies for shelter operations. 

• Lead the delivery of a neighbourhood-based shelter program that exemplifies the mission, 
vision, and values of a multi-service neighbourhood centre.

surrounding community and work to integrate shelter residents as valuable members of a 
neighbourhood and community.
