A Place to Belong

Paws in Recovery is more than a program — it’s a safe, inclusive space where 2SLGBTQIA+ community members can connect, relax, and feel supported. Our drop-in centre offers a warm, judgment-free environment where anyone can stop by for conversation, resources, or simply a quiet place to unwind. Whether you’re looking to build community, explore support options, or just take a break from daily stress, you’re welcome here.

Comfortable, Community Spaces

Our drop-in centre is designed to be a welcoming, home-like space where everyone can feel comfortable. Each area is thoughtfully arranged to offer cozy corners for conversation, quiet reflection, or simply relaxing. You’ll also find shared community spaces where you can connect with others, participate in activities, and enjoy the company of friends and fellow community members.
