About

Women’s Centre of York Region is dedicated to providing programs, counseling and support services to women who have been affected by abuse or financial challenges. Our clients are mothers, friends, volunteers, co-workers and neighbours – all part of the community as a whole. Helping our clients has a ripple effect, making all our communities stronger and healthier places to live.

We are blogging as part of our committment to address the issues of accessibility across York Region.  York Region is home to over 1 million people, and spans an area 3 times greater than the City of Toronto.  With demographics and geography against us, we are rising to the challenge and exploring creative ways to get our message out.

Our aim is to  shed light on the reality of clients, while contributing to global conversations regarding poverty, and the status of women.   Our goals are also local.  We provide services to local women, and we hope to engage our local community in discussions around these themes.

Please join us and engage yourself in the conversation as we work together to improve lives.
