Who We Are

Abode is a dedicated equality-seeking organization committed to tackling critical issues that affect our communities. We address food security, anti-oppression, anti-racism, and gender-based violence, while also supporting the settlement of refugees and newcomers.

Our work extends to ensuring seniors can age at home with dignity, empowering youth through leadership and training, and breaking down barriers that hinder equal access to opportunities and resources. We are deeply committed to fostering an inclusive environment that honors and respects diverse traditions, heritages, and experiences, creating lasting positive change for all.
