It is important for the safety of the community to have a way for men who are in a transitional period of life, often institutionalized, to successfully re-enter society after years of incarceration or living on the street. Leonard's Place Peel performs these two important tasks. With a proven track record since 1971, St. Leonard's Place Peel can be proud of the accomplishments of its residents and its community. We are a non-profit organization with funding and support from Correctional Services Canada, Region of Peel and the United Way. We have several well-equipped facilities that house differing populations, including the Joyce Waters Education Centre, the Rotary Resolve House, the Sir Robert Williams House, and the Richard & Joan Brown Home. Furthermore, we offer various work and educational programs, such as the social enterprises Licence 2 Clean and Licence 2 Cook. These programs offer the men an opportunity to develop a work history to better transition into full independence. Goals
Consistent with the determinants of health, Sir Robert Williams House, Rotary Resolve House, and the Richard & Joan Brown Home believe that health and well-being are socially constructed. Through its partnerships with community agencies, we will ensure that people in transition are provided with the necessary tools to survive and to thrive. Sir Robert Williams House, Rotary Resolve House, and the Richard & Joan Brown Home will provide an environment that:
• Fosters a sense of belonging to a community
• Enhances each person's sense of dignity and self-worth
• Ensures the safety of each person and the community
• Equips people, through education, to function effectively in the community
• Contributes to the physical, emotional and spiritual nourishment of each person
• Develops relationships based on trust, respect and honesty
• Develops community awareness of the transitional community and St.
