Read More

Our Place Society is a local nonprofit that provides pathways out of homelessness and poverty in Greater Victoria. Our Place Society provides over 1400 meals a day, shelter, supportive housing, hot showers, paramedics, Vancouver Island’s only long-term Therapeutic Recovery Community and much more!


What’s happening?

Coldest Night of the Year is a unique way for you and your business, school, church or community group to be part of a national event, and to support Our Place Society to make a difference in your community.
