The George Spady Centre

I would like to preface this by saying I fully support the objectives and goals of an organization like this. However with that being said I would not recommend doing business and/or supplying the George Spady Society. As someone who interacted with the George Spady in a business sense I have to say that it is challenging to have a meaningful, straightforward and productive business relationship.As someone who was hoping to assist with a marginalized person I felt that I was misled and the situation was set up for failure. If you have any thoughts of renting a property to one of their programs I suggest bringing a healthy sense of scepticism. Overall I would NOT recommend anyone from entering into a contract with the George Spady Society

This place saved my life over 8 years ago! i couldnt thank this place enough. I now have 3 beautiful children and a fiancé. Living the best sober life thank you George spady for helping me when I needed you over 8 years ago

I stayed in the Spady when I was homeless. The staff are really kind. They made coffee for us to drink every morning at 6 AM and chatted with us until it was time to leave at 6:30 AM. I felt safe there. I recommend the Spady as the best homeless shelter.

Grateful for what this organization does but disappointed that they’re decreasing community member access by moving to the west side of the city.The current space is turning into some sort of building for police use.Also, it’s very inhumane to me that they will not treat overdoses that occur in their parking lot and will do nothing but call the fire department. I’m very confused as to how someone in your parking lot isn’t still covered liability-wise.I want to reiterate that I think the work you do is invaluable and that the staff are heroes. The government continuously tries to stop the operation of safe consumption sites and yet you still persist.

This is a great place to start to rebuild your life if you, or someone you know is struggling with a addiction, this place helps people get connected and helps them to find the resources to build a life. I highly recommend this organization to anyone who is struggling to find the resources to elevate themselves to a position in life where they can heal themselves and recover from whatever ales that individual. Staff who work here are all about getting the clients help who are seeking help. I myself have used this service and I must say, without this place I don't know where I would be today. In saying that I have full circle ⭕. This is a none profit organization. With this organization there is a detox centre and a stabilization area after detox they help the individual by getting into treatment. I hope this is enough information of this place. May you find yourself within these walls!!!! It was beacon of hope in my recovery time... I am forever greatful for this place...

This place saved my life and so many others.I am forever grateful, and will never forget the beautiful compassion and deep personal understanding of exactly what (we) were going through.Thank you for giving me exactly what I needed to begin building my foundation of recovery.You're all amazing, and so much more loved by your community then you will ever know.

I would like to say a few good words about this organization although I just finished my process to remove the tenant via the legal means. Here are three reasons: 1). They are doing very challenging jobs and they are trying their best, knowingly some of their clients are NOT likely going to have a happy ending people are hoping for, due to the drug influence and mental health issues. Quite frank, without them, these people have basically nowhere else to turn. I truly believe they are doing what the high spirit calls for, even though there is no guarantee to be successful in every attempt. They earned my respect to them through the process, not the results; 2). They keep their words and always meet up with their commitments during my short time period in dealing with them. As a business partner, this is the best anyone can ask. 3). While I do agree that they are not the best bet if one's goal is to build a profitable rental business - this doesn't mean they deserve less respect that Dalai Lama has had: My 5-star rating goes to these social workers in Google Spady is the least I can do right now to show my respect to these great people, working for a great cause, and doing a great job, in dealing with great challenge daily in and day out, and carrying ahead with the great hope that has been near and dear to all of us.

Landlords beware.I have had 2 very problemed tenants and George Spady withdrew funding on the drop of a hat. No notice, no explanation, nothing.I'm sure they're doing their best but unfortunately the individuals they house are serverely disenfranchised and support" from George Spady means zero. As soon as you house these people

On the 10th on June 2022 I was robbed by three native individuals that had weapons. I had no chance against them and they were able to get all my personal property that I had at the time. The robbery was behind the Hope Mission. After I was robbed of all my things I went to the front doors to ask for police assistance. I was told that they would not place that call. So I ran across the street to the George Spady Centre to ask if they could place a call to the police. They to said that they would not make any call like that. I told them I had everything stolen from from me at the hands of 3 men with weapons. They said that they will still not call. I lost my keys my phone my clothes my food I got from the food bank my hat my personal shaver, cologne, my jacket and wallet and a back pack with more things not as important to mention.This robbery will result in a few hundred dollars to replace and some of the things taken cannot be replaced.Something to consider.
