Who We Are.

True North is an organization dedicated to supporting all individuals impacted by domestic violence. True North provides short-term emergency shelter, community programming, supportive counselling, referral, and advocacy.

Our Mission

Together we walk the path with those in crisis: honoring the past, providing support in the present, and awakening hope for the future.

Our goal is to provide non-judgmental support, active listening, and assistance to all individuals impacted by abuse. At True North, we celebrate diversity; respecting each person’s unique culture, history, and life experiences is foundational to our care practices.

Our Vision

Interrupting the cycle of abuse through empowerment to create a safe environment for all.

True North is committed to helping build a safe and secure community free from abuse. We aim to help prevent abuse through education and community programming, reduce the recurrence of violence through counselling and support programs, and respond to abuse by assisting survivors in building the skills and confidence needed to live independently.

Our Team

The team at the True North is a dedicated and compassionate group of over 30 individuals committed to helping rebuild lives affected by family abuse. Our team strives to work collaboratively throughout True North’s different programs, departments, and initiatives to provide clients with a truly integrated, trauma-informed support system. We could not be prouder of the hardworking individuals, past and present, that have brought True North to where it is today! You can learn more about many of our staff on LinkedIn.
