We’re pleased to announce that we’ve secured a new location for two of our programs. We’ve leased space at #101-4871 Joyce Ave. in Crossroads Village for the Family Place Resource Centre and the Community Resource Centre. We anticipate we’ll be moving in in March 2025.
“We’re very happy to have secured this space for these two essential community programs,” our Executive Director, Kim, shares. “The location is central, accessible, and just around the corner from our Immigrant Welcome Centre which will help facilitate inter-program support.”
Both Family Place and the CRC are leaving long-term locations at Town Centre Mall and 4752 Joyce Ave., respectively. “We’re thankful for the long-term in-kind support the Mall has offered us over the past 20 years,” Kim shares. “We’re pleased to be moving Family Place into a new permanent location with purpose-built facilities including accessible bathrooms and kitchen facilities.”
The CRC’s current location, which houses the CRC, Emergency Shelter, and Overdose Prevention Site (OPS) has recently been sold and we’ve been informed that our lease will be honoured until March 31st of next year. “These programs have been co-located out of necessity,” Kim explains. “We’re excited to have this new long-term home for the CRC and continue to seek the same for both our shelter and OPS.”
Programming for both programs will remain the same until the move. Over the coming months we’ll be renovating the new space to meet our programming needs and are aiming for a March 2025 move-in. We’ll be holding a community open house before we open for business, for our neighbours and community members to see the new space and learn more about the programming there. Stay tuned!
