For the women and youth we support, there can be a lot standing in the way of feeling okay. Getting support isn’t always easy.

From facing incarceration, homelessness, trauma or other difficult circumstances, having access to safety and support can make all the difference.

That’s why the work of Elizabeth Fry matters. Sometimes having someone listen, having somewhere safe to go or simply having someone remind you that your life can look different can be the beginning of something bigger. Please visit our site for more information:

There is always room for another chapter.

We are so proud to introduce our new transitional housing for women experiencing homelessness. A six-bedroom farmhouse nestled on 112 acres of peaceful countryside.

For women 24+, this home offers up to one year of transitional housing alongside intensive onsite case management support.

We are looking for community organizations and partners who can help bring additional supports and resources to the women who call this place home.

If your organization can help, we’d love to connect.

September 30 | National Day for Truth and Reconciliation 🧡

Today, we honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors, the generations impacted by residential schools…

We recognize that reconciliation requires listening & learning. It’s also about taking meaningful action today and every day. 🧡

Every child matters. Every story matters.

A little reminder:

It’s okay to have bad days, make mistakes, take a break, ask for help…

Small steps are still progress. A setback is not a failure.

Keep moving forward. You are enough…you are stronger than you think 💛

On October 3, 2026, we will come together to ride and walk in support of refuge and the people whose lives are being transformed through care, compassion, and community.
