Standing Together
We have come a long way in the

Kikinaw Residence
Providing quality housing and
support services that empower women is a priority for the YWCA movement. YWCA Turning Point residences provide more than just a safe, affordable roof over women's heads. Our staff and programs respond to the varied needs of those who stay with us. Kikinaw, meaning "our home" in Cree, supports women from teens to seniors through short and long-term stays.
Child Care Centres
Our Child Care Centres offer
a full range of developmental programming to nurture children's physical, emotional, social, intellectual and creative lives.
Big Sisters
Whether it's the traditional
Big Sister / Little Sister match, small group mentoring or big group events, Big Sisters is all about friendship between women and girls. Find out how a little time from a caring adult makes a Big difference in the life of a child.
Between Generations
Between Generations is a special
opportunity for seniors. Volunteer 'grandparents' come out once a week to read and play with preschool children. Each senior is matched with one special child, but the time is spent in a group setting and staff are always available.
