For over 100 years, VON has pioneered health services in Canada. We have a proud tradition of often being the first to identify emerging health and social needs, and then providing innovative services that meet those needs. That's the way it's been since the founding of the Victorian Order of Nurses for Canada. In the Canada of the late 1890s, nurses, doctors and hospitals were desperately needed in remote areas and in rapidly growing towns and cities.
Since those early days, Kerrys Place Autism Services has grown to support over 6,000 individuals of all ages and their families with a broad continuum of specialized supports and services across South Western Ontario. It is through the extraordinary dedication and efforts of the individuals themselves, or family members, of staff, of volunteers and of advocates that we are able to find ways of helping individuals with an Autism Spectrum Disorder reach their highest potential. With the addition of community outreach services, we have been able to provide support and consultation to individuals with autism who live at home.
Community Living Dufferin promotes equal opportunity and respect for people who have developmental disabilities by listening to them and supporting their choices to achieve the lives they want.

Welcome to Shelter NowMission: Shelter now helps transition homeless people to self sufficiency. We do this by providing housing, connections, support and opportunities.Shelter Now is a not for profit charity that owns and operates a 20 Unit Transitional Housing Complex called Hartog House. Since we opened our doors in November 2009, we have provided temporary housing and support services to over 93 individuals/families (including 36 children). More than 144 others, although unable to live in a Hartog House unit, were assisted through outreach.Our success is not only in our numbers, but also in the stories of the people we have been able to help in reaching their goals. It is an amazing thing to watch folks overcome so many barriers, build confidence and then not only transition out to our community, but start giving back by volunteering!Supported BySUPPORT SHELTER NOW!
