Archway Counselling Association

Today's scheduled BBQ Fundraiser in Victoria Park is cancelled due to weather. Watch for a 'Pop-up' BBQ sometime this week beside Archway Counselling at 883 Prince St., Truro NS.

Have a Happy Canada Day!!

Get ready for a thrilling Canada Day BBQ hosted by Archway! As part of our 2024 Now More Than Ever campaign, we're celebrating 30 years of making a difference. Join us at Victoria Park in Truro, 11am-3pm, under the pavilion. See you soon!

As of August 31st, the Slate page will be shutting down. We cherish the many memories we’ve had over the years and look fondly on all the lives that have been impacted.

Going forward, the space will open to a new chapter, with a new organization, but the same commitment to serving the youth in our community. Look for Youth Unlimited Truro to open Waypoint Youth Centre very soon! Make sure and follow them and look for some programming this summer.

Today, take a moment to remember the lives lost. Today, reach out to someone that was closely affected. Today, reflect on the tragedy of 4 years ago, and remember.

If needed contact #211, the Mental Health and Addictions crisis line at 1-888-429-8167, Archway or one of the many agencies that can help process this trauma.
