Building Opportunities, Building Community

We’re proud to have partnered with The Working Centre to reimagine their property at 97 Victoria – a project that brings together 44 units of affordable housing, an all-new St. John’s Kitchen, a welcoming outdoor courtyard and a campus of supports and services for those in need. We believe that housing acts as a foundation for people to live more fully in community and at 97 Victoria we’re helping to create a place where people can live safely, and with dignity.

We were honoured to work shoulder to shoulder with the Working Centre, with our team leading the development and construction of the project as well as kickstarting the private fundraising with a $1.0M contribution. We’re excited to see this new place help those in need.

St. John’s Kitchen

St. John’s Kitchen currently receives over 1000 visitors every month, who come in for a hot, nutritious meal, to do their laundry, have a hot shower or to be with friends in a safe and welcoming place. This space also provides people access to strategic problem-solving support and connection to other critical resources.

The Working Center

Since 1982, The Working Centre has been providing a wide range of supports and services for residents of Waterloo Region. We’re inspired by TWC’s entrepreneurial approach and ability to deliver the essential services our community needs. From affordable housing to emergency shelter, employment services and critical medical supports, food production and distribution – the web of their projects reaches so many.
