Thank you to all who attended this year’s Coffee House Festive Celebration and to all those who generously donated to make it a success once again! Also, a special thank you to those who livened up the evening with their songs on the Karaoke machine. Our clients once again proved their resilience by coming out despite the weather and the OC Transpo strike. We wish everyone the very best for the holiday season and for the year ahead.

This was a wonderful opportunity for us to gain feedback on our services and to remind us of the importance of the work we are doing.
