Resilience Montreal’s new home is more than just a building — it is the culmination of years of planning, fundraising, and collaboration.
The Indigenous-led organization officially opened the doors to its permanent wellness centre on Tuesday, marking a major milestone.
Located a short walk from Cabot Square, the purpose-built facility was designed for Indigenous people experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity, bringing a wide range of services together under one roof.
For Nakuset, executive director of the Native Women’s Shelter and co-founder of Resilience Montreal, it is the realization of a long-held vision.
“No one is doing this — it is a one-stop shop,” said Nakuset. “Shelters are going to have to start doing better throughout the world.”
