Our Place Society

New Roads is a complete joke, especially when you have managers who treat their residents like a pile of minions and post ridiculous photos of men, lined with their hands up on a Our Place Society van.Whomever took that, and then posted it. Should be fired.

Very grateful but compared to any other shelter I've been to this is the worst one. Little empathy or compassion towards anyone. Upper management is a joke. Donations are hoarded by staff and upper management. Washrooms are full of junkies 80 percent of the time. Horrible place to rely on comfort or safety. This is a place to come and slowly kill yourself and get your possessions stolen at the same time. This place has made me realize why people would rather sleep out in the cold. Disgraceful excuse for a shelter. I guess that's why it's becoming a community center. I pray for everyone in this city whole heartedly,

I went to an Orientation for volunteers at Our Place on Tuesday.They had a slide show presentation which lasted 100 minutes, then he walked us through the place.Our Place is an open door place for anyone 19+ who would like a meal, a place to hang out, lodging, a shower, clothes and more.My uncle used this place before, and I feel like they are really doing wonderful things for people in society who are down and out of our minds.Our Place relies on 55-60 volunteers a day to keep things rolling smoothly.Maybe they'll call me for help. I let them know that I have experience being a delivery driver.

I have been volunteering here for a couple of months now. The staff and other volunteers are lovely and easy to talk to. Everyone I've met has been so unbelievably kind and thankful. It saddens me to see the effects of homelessness on people. The kitchen makes delicious meals. Safe place to eat and be.

This our place society needs to relocate!Since the Vancouver Eastside people came here in 2022 the area is not safe. The other day I was nearly poked by a uncapped needle thrown on the top ring of a garbage can & I have seen pretty much everything no one wants to see happening in the area. I am tired of not feeling safe. Please find a better spot for this.There is lots of new high rises right next to it & elderly, kids, pets and working class tax payers in this area and with it now being the most highly developed area in the city i think the city of Victoria has to do something if they wont relocate!The once beautiful harris green park in prime land downtown Victoria is now filled with tents, garbage and & heavy drug use instead of what it was intended for.

Three hot meals per day = 3 stars. I don't bite the hand that feeds me.Quality of the meal depends on who is working in the kitchen. The kitchen staff that don't say hello back to you put out garbage, and never a salad, as compared to the kitchen staff that aren't holier than thou, which put out nice meals and salad. The budget remains the same, yet attitude towards the clients differs.WHY TAKE ANY POSITION HELPING" STREET PEOPLE IF YOU DON'T LIKE STREET PEOPLE? The same could be asked of many of the volunteers and general staff. Us homeless get treated like garbage everywhere

This is a essential service In my opinion. The staff are so helpful and friendly, especially the custodians and front desk.

Places been going downhill for last year. Today was half a sandwich so you have update two meals to make one

I went today for a free vet day and discovered I was late. The time had changed, and I wasn't aware.The young lady there looked up my pets and was able to give me Flea treatment!I'm so happy about that.The staff here is always friendly, helpful & knowledgeable.
