Social Justice and Advocacy

Thresholds is committed to reducing systematic barriers that impact our communities’ access to care. This work includes holding the highest standard of both housing and anti-oppressive programming. It also means that our work is driven from the perspective of client empowerment and cultural safety. Through this process we are constantly seeking ways to advocate for our community, resist practices and structures of oppression and stand in solidarity with equity deserving communities.  

 

The purpose of this page is to promote partner agencies, resources and tools that help to break down the barriers that damage the fabric of our community. 

 

Thresholds commits to work towards redressing harms caused by the intentional process of colonization within Canada. We are committed to upholding the Calls to Action as outlined by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada as they pertain to service provision.
