Golden Women’s Resource Centre

We are a registered non-profit charity and we provide direct services and supports to women and girls promoting their safety, empowerment, and equality. Our supports and services are available to all women and girls (trans & cis gendered) as well as genderqueer and non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centers on the experiences of women.

The Women’s Centre is a safe, non-judgmental and respectful space –children and pet dogs are welcome. It is a place for women to come together, get support, access services, relax and unwind, enjoy a cup or tea or coffee, and spend time in our cozy lounge. The Women’s Centre provides free computer/internet access, resource library, free clothing store, cozy lounge, youth programming, workshops, events, and connection.
