AGM 2025 was a chance to reflect on another year of growth, connection, and renewal at Street Haven. We gathered to share accomplishments, celebrate the women we serve, and look ahead to the work still to come. In true Street Haven spirit, even an unexpected fire alarm couldn’t shake us. Pausing to step outside and then reconvening reminded us that our community is built on resilience, adaptability, and the ability to keep moving forward together. Thank you to our donors, partners, and volunteers for all your support. #GROWTH #Streethaven #womensupportingwomen #agm #womenservices #Toronto

Today is an important day to acknowledge and remember the children who were forced to attend church-run and government-funded residential schools, as well as affected survivors and communities as they tell their stories and their history. Every year on September 30th the public commemoration of tragic past events and ongoing impacts of residential schools are vital to the reconciliation process. Additionally, today is Orange Shirt Day. We encourage you to wear an orange shirt to not only raise awareness but also to bring to light the intergenerational impacts of residential schools on indigenous children, families, and communities. The colour orange serves as a symbol of remembrance for those who were lost, the loss of freedom and self-esteem that Indigenous children experienced and to remind us that #EveryChildMatters 🧡
