Nutritional Programs

We also offer education on healthy nutrition and its importance in 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 are able to participate in cultural workshops where they meet with elders in the community, take part in sharing circles, and express themselves through art.
