Gillian's Place

This is a woman's shelter but is definatley kid friendly. If you are in an emergency situation and need to leave this is one of the places to go. If you are in an abusive relationship you can take refuge here ad well. Don't hesitate please just come! There are so many services offered here. They have counselling for residents but also outreach as well. There is also kids counselling available too! There is always a fridge full of food , a hot meal and an ear to listen. Please don't wait. This place has strict confidentiality rules and no men are allowed on premises which are also monitored by cameras at every entrance and in the parking lot. You have to be buzzed in because of high security standards!! Private rooms and rooms for mothers and children availiable!

This place does not help you at all!I explained my situation and they advised me they are calling facs and they cannot help me! They have put words into my mouth that I have not said! I do not recommend going to this place for any services as they will not help you they will just set you up for failure!

Hardest thing to pull myself to do but so glad I did in the end. Staff was very helpful,. Great for the kids too. Rooms are nice and lots to do. Ended up being the best place I could ever go too. ❤️

Only good for women and children no help for others and the people don’t care

Call or text anytime...Be heard.Each person listens and if you ask, will offer help.This team know how best to help you no matter your situation.Or they'll just listen...

I love this place it's become more than a family for me in my difficult time all the staff members are so nice and well behave and really cooperative .May God bless all of you and l ll always remember you in my prayers

This is a wonderful facility that addresses every need that a mother or child could want or need. The staff are phenomenal, the rooms are a wonderful size, toys for the children in all the family areas and a kitchen open 24 hours, always very well stocked and an amazing dinner made every evening. You and your children are always safe whether you are inside and out at Gillian's. I was on the Board of Directors and I can honestly say this is a cause worth supporting.

I am very grateful for the services offered and the safety the have for abused women and children. It is safe, clean and is great for transferring into society and doing so with the tools the counsellors offer.

Was grateful for the safe space. Had some support but not as much as women with children. After a few weeks was awakened in early morning to be informed I was being displaced to Southridge. I learned it was men & women which I was not ready for. Not to mention it is a religious setting and I am an atheist. I had only a short time to gather my things and had no opportunity to speak to my friends so I was left unsupported and alone as I moved to another strange place. Communication and respect as well as empathy is lacking at Gillian's Place and perhaps if the employees had faced these issues in their lives they may have been more sympathetic to how I felt. It was like they couldn't wait to get me out fast enough. Southridge is awful and you can read my review if you are interested.
