Nutritional Programs

We offer education on healthy nutrition and its importance for physical, mental, and emotional health. These sessions covers basic nutrition, the Canada food guide, food safe principles, and eating well for diabetes. Individual nutritional counselling is also offered to help residents set their own healthy eating goals, determine portion sizes, and ensure a balanced diet, with the goal of enabling them to set goals and find balance for themselves.

Cultural Programs

Residents of our shelter have access to cultural workshops with community Elders where they can take part in sharing circles and express themselves through art.
