Youth Haven Canada

When a young person in need comes to stay at Youth Haven they receive clothes, food, personal necessities such as a toothbrush, toothpaste, and shampoo, and bedding when they arrive. They are offered the opportunity to speak to a youth worker right away for pressing needs, or unwind and rest.

If you or someone you know is a youth experiencing homelessness, reach out to us at (705) 739-7616.

The dedicated volunteers of the May Court Club of Barrie have been working tirelessly for an entire year to make this event possible – and we need YOUR help to spread the word! Every ticket sold helps us give back even more to our community.

Get ready for the Holiday Tour & Makers Market, taking place on November 10 from 10AM to 4PM, where you can enjoy a self-drive tour of 4 beautifully decorated holiday homes in Braestone, Horseshoe, and Barrie, a cozy stop at the Tea Room at the The Heights Ski & Country Club for coffee, tea, and scones, and the chance to shop the upscale Simcoe Makers Market for unique gifts, preserves, and festive home decor!

Tickets are $40, and are available online at www.barriemaycourtclub.ca/events or in-person at MAY COURT SHOP Barrie , Alliston Botanix, Dwellings, Bradford Greenhouses Garden Gallery and Janet Kemp Ladies Fashion!

Remember, Every Ticket Counts! Help make a difference this holiday season by sharing this post and inviting friends and family to join. Thank you for your support!

🎃🎃🎃👻👻👻

It’s a historical day for Youth Haven!

Today, we begin the demolition of our old shelter to make way for a brighter future. This day was filled with emotion as staff, supporters, and community members gathered to honour the past and look forward to a new chapter in our book.

A huge thank you to the Simcoe County Home Builders' Association for the hundreds of hours they’ve already donated to get this project started. If you would like to support them and donate you can do so at https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E346766QE&id=26

Thank you, Randy Osborne and his Jam Club team for choosing to be the difference for our youth.

Jam Club will raise funds for our youth Halloween night on Thursday, October 31st. A hat will be passed around through out the evening for all to have an opportunity to donate.

Come out in your best costumes, listen to live music, perform yourself, and raise funds for our youth. Win, win, win.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Check out this cool "on-this-day" memory!

October 25 2009 we moved into 22 Wellington St E.

15 years and 5 days later we'll be tearing this house down on October 30 to start our next chapter. 🥳

Thanks for all the memories and laughs these last 15 years ❤️
