As the year draws to a close, the Old Brewery Mission pays tribute to all our staff members, who overcame many challenges to not only keep homeless men and women safe during the pandemic, but to find sustainable solutions to homelessness.
Ever-shifting health rules forced us to keep making changes on the fly. From the beginning of the year, our people were in fast-adapt mode as they scrambled to alleviate the insecurity the pandemic created for our clients.
In response to the escalating demand, the Saint-Laurent Campus team quickly came up with solutions. In collaboration with public authorities and numerous partners, overflow units and services were set up at unconventional sites such as hotels, a church and even arenas.
These achievements were made possible by the support of our community, which mobilized to enable the Mission to continue its efforts.
Our new 2020-2021 Impact Report, available online, describes the many other initiatives carried out over the past year.
