Sheridan Neighbourhood Family Program

The Sheridan Neighbourhood Family programs supports families living in the Sheridan-Clarkson neighbourhood (which is considered a high need and priority neighbourhood) to receive help in starting up their own businesses, as well assists clients in finding employment. At the same time there is a need for a community centre as none of the existing community centres are accessible for residents. We believe that both elements are key in poverty reduction in the Sheridan-Clarkson area.
