Last night’s Blue Door Gala for The Ottawa Mission was like stepping through a portal of compassion: one that leads to a brighter future for those who need it

A funeral was cancelled after undertakers’ vehicles were damaged by a gang in a ‘disgusting’ vandalism spree – with one being written off.

The Ottawa Mission is our city’s oldest and largest emergency shelter. Since 1906, we have been at the forefront of caring for people who are homeless and in need. We do this by providing the basic necessities of life, including nutritious food, safe shelter and warm clothing. We also do so much more than this — we help people regain their dignity, hope and purpose in life.
