The STEPs Capital Campaign was initiated in 2019, to address the physical space needs stemming from ongoing expansion of programs and clientele. Led by Jol and Maura Hunter and supported by the Capital Campaign team of the Foundation, this multimillion-dollar campaign aimed to provide the capital to restore a building adjacent to Rotary House on Arthur Street. This building, to become known as Delaney House, would house the expanded Tim Hortons New to You, the renamed Snook Café, Rotary apartments and administrative spaces.
Funds were raised through canvassing community businesses, families and individuals for recurrent yearly pledges over a five-year period. A total of 113 donors were secured, with a total of $3,981,059.42 raised. Renovations commenced in 2020, with the grand opening of Delaney House taking place in August of 2022.
As we near fulfillment of the Capital Campaign, we would like to express our gratitude to our community for their unwavering dedication to the ongoing growth of STEPs, which is critical to fulfilment of our mission.
