The Great Umbrella School Tour continues with the return to Maria Montessori...

PE teacher Miss Alanna welcomed us into her classroom yesterday afternoon. Ashley and Rebecca presented to grades 11 and 12, sharing their stories of substance use, and how they found recovery, and all the good in between.

Thank you again to the students for being so thoughtful and engaged...not to mention some serious artistic talent!!
Thank you for the portraits, we absolutely love them. ✨

Project ~Reconnect~ 2025
Yesterday we had our gals Louise and Rebecca represent Umbrella at the Downtown Service Providers (DSP) Committee's Project Reconnect, hosted at the Central Baptist Church (833 Pandora Ave).
This essential event provides those experiencing homelessness and poverty with access to community resources and services.
reminded of both new and familiar community partners. Not only organizations, but reconnections with former clients. collaboration. Reminding us of the need for our services. The demand isn't going anywhere.

SALT SPRING ISLAND - More people in need of affordable and supportive housing on Salt Spring Island will have a new place to call home with the opening of a new building on Drake Road.

Located at 161 Drake Rd., the building includes 32 supportive homes for adults who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and four affordable homes for who can live independently.

Thank you to our partners, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), Capital Regional District and Lookout Housing & Health Society, for coming .

We also thank the Umbrella Society for Addictions & Mental Health which has operated the temporary supportive housing at 154 King’s Lane for the last several years. Most residents will move over from that housing into these new homes, then the housing will be removed.

Umbrella Society's School Tour '25 is off to a start with Stelly's Secondary School.
It was a full house in what would have normally been a pre-calc math class 👀
50 grade 12-ers asked great questions, were a pleasure to hang with, and marked Umbrella Scott's first presentation!
