Our History

The Garage Community Space first opened in the winter of 2022 as a hope-filled response to our community’s deepest heartaches – homelessness, addictions, overdose, poverty and loneliness. The founding board members wanted to create a space where community members, local social agencies and organizations, First Nations, government, churches and schools could collaborate to provide support for people who are struggling. Thanks to widespread community support and donations from local businesses and individuals, this vision has become a reality.
