We Want to Hear From You

Date: 2024-09-10

On Thursday September 12, St. Joseph's Care Group will be hosting a town hall to gain community input on our recently announced program relocation project, which will permanently relocate Crossroads Centre to 667 Sibley Drive and our Withdrawal Management program to 500 Oliver Road in Thunder Bay.

This is a fantastic opportunity for the community to engage directly with our program and community leaders as we embark on the exciting journey of relocating St. Joseph's Care Group's withdrawal management and pre- and post-treatment programs. Your insights, questions, and suggestions are valuable to us.

What to Expect

• Engage with Leaders: Hear from key figures involved in the relocation project and program operations.

Your participation will help shape the future operations of the programs and ensure the transitions in location are smooth and beneficial for everyone involved.

About the project

Withdrawal Management will move from its Sibley Drive location to Oliver Road in fall 2024. They will be temporarily co-located with Crossroads Centre programming. Sibley Drive will then undergo substantial renovations, and in summer of 2025, Crossroads Centre programming will move to that site. This move will mean safer care in an environment more suited to the clients served, better access to and space to offer a continuum of services in mental health and addictions, and the room to embed programming and spaces for healing and ceremony for Indigenous Peoples. Renovations at both sites will be designed with the input of staff, clients and partners to create purpose-built spaces that are accessible and uphold dignity through appropriate spaces including gender-appropriate washrooms.
