The Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre (DSYTC) came into being, as a result of the efforts of a group of dedicated parents and community leaders, spearheaded by restaurateur and philanthropist Dave Smith. This committed group lobbied tirelessly to secure base operational funding support from the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care as well as raise capital funds from the community in order to purchase a building. With minimal fanfare, enthusiastic staff, and high hopes, the DSYTC first opened its doors in March 1993. The Centre began providing assistance to some 120 youth and parents in year one, and today, with much creativity and commitment assists more than 700 people per year.

Since 1988, Chrysalis has assisted over two thousand women to achieve empowered freedoms from addiction, violence & poverty. Our organization and programs are based on a feminist, client-centered philosophy that inherently recognizes the complex interdependence between women’s experiences of addiction, violence, abuse, exploitation, poverty and homelessness – as well as the larger social culture and systems through which women are further pathologized, medicated and/or oppressed. The comprehensive post-detox continuum of care Chrysalis Society provides (1st-stage post-detox stabilization, 2nd-stage semi-independence, and a housing subsidy program)remains the lowest-barriered resource for women in the region, and is accessible to many of our province's most marginalized women. As a result of multiple barriers relating to concurrent mental health and/or medications, many of the women we serve would otherwise have no access residential care and supports.
