Shepherds NEWS

At Shepherds of Good Hope (SGH), “hope” is in almost everything we do. It’s in our name, reflected in our core values, in how we design our programs and services and is a big part of our brand.

Recent disparaging signs on residences on Murray Street have saddened our staff, volunteers, community members and individuals who come to Shepherds of Good Hope for assistance during difficult times in their lives when they are struggling with poverty, challenges related to mental health, addictions, trauma and homelessness.

Shepherds of Good Hope and Carlington Community Association will host a recognition event to thank community partners for their work in creating and installing the new mural on the side of The Oaks. It will take place on September 13, 2018 at 6:30pm at The Oaks, located at 1057 Merivale Road.

A new mural was installed on the side of the Oaks, our supportive housing facility encompassing our residential Managed Alcohol Program.

Shepherds of Good Hope will march in the 2018 Capital Pride parade on Aug. 26th for the first time in the organization’s history. With a mission of providing homes for all, community for all, and hope for all, Shepherds of Good Hope will be marching to show solidarity with its LGBTQ2S employees, volunteers, and clients.
